๐ Los Angeles Michelin One-Star Omakase โ Shunji
Michelin one-star omakase in Santa Monica, LA. They have two rooms: Chef Shunji and apprentice Miki. I heard Shunjiโs sushi is noticeably different, and his room is much larger. As soon as Shunji returned from Japan, I quickly booked his counter. A total of 16 courses, with more cooked dishes than typical omakase. Price-wise, itโs great value for LA omakase โ even girls leave super full! Shunji kept joking with us throughout โ a really fun, happy meal ๐. My favorite dishes from this menu: ๐ Golden Threadfin Bream Sashimi + Uni + Tosazu Jelly The uni was sweet as heaven. ๐ Sesame Tofu โ Shunji knew Iโd just returned from Kyoto and asked if it brought back memories ๐ฅน. ๐ Fried Whitebait + Salted Egg Yolk Wrapped Fried Fish Roe So perfect with drinks!! ๐ถ ๐ Monkfish Liver Pรขtรฉ + Toast โ took the aroma to another level. ๐ Abalone Porridge โ tasted just like homemade Cantonese abalone congee. ๐ Sardine Roll โ my moonlight dish ๐ โ layers of flavor were incredible. โ Tamagoyaki was surprisingly dry โ not sure why. Many recommend their house sake โIchigoโ โ hope someone can try it for me! ๐ฐ Per person: ~$350 Definitely a place Iโll revisit. #LosAngeles #MichelinOneStar #Michelin #MichelinRestaurantVisit #MichelinRestaurant
