Los Angeles Also Has Killer Sushi Rolls & Aged Fish! š£āØ
Ventura Boulevard is full of hidden gemsāand I just discovered another one! A unique ārestaurant + marketā hybrid spot specializing in hand-rolled sushi and dry-aged fish. Totally won me over. ā¤ļø Walking in, youāll see a row of aging fridges displaying various cuts of tuna and salmon, their marbling slowly intensifying under controlled airflow. Following the staffās suggestion, I grabbed a window seat and ordered the hand-roll set (which includes lean tuna, fatty tuna, steelhead salmon, whitefish, prawn, and a special rollāsix pieces total!). Also added the Slammin Salmon roll, a crab futomaki, and a seafood salad. Wanted a highball to go with it, but the server looked confusedāso I switched to beer. š When they brought out an ice-cold Sapporo šŗ, it felt like I was back in Tokyo! The hand rolls were authenticājust a dab of wasabi, and each bite brought unreal satisfaction. Am I really in laid-back California? š² After the meal, I headed to the aging counter and bought half a pound of Otoro and half a pound of salmon slices. The display case was stocked with premium selections like red sea bream, flounder, mackerel, and both chutoro and otoro cuts of bluefin tuna. And me? I only pick the best of the best. Feasting well again tonight! š š The Joint Seafood and Coffee 13718 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423 Perfect for fresh sushi, quality aged fish, and a no-fuss vibe. A must-visit for seafood lovers! #LAEats #SushiLovers #AgedFish #VenturaBoulevard #HiddenGems #JapaneseFood #SeafoodMarket #HandRolls #DryAged #FoodieFind #LosAngeles #EatLikeATokyoite #FreshCatch #PremiumSeafood #LocalSpot #NoHighballButSapporo
