Omg, a Hidden Izakaya Gem in the Valley!

LA has been so hot lately – I didn’t want to travel far for food, just craving something cool and refreshing. So I met up with friends at a longtime izakaya in the Valley, and turns out they just launched highballs – with a huge size option! Perfect for this blazing summer. 🥃 Lemon Highball You can choose between a regular size ($9.99) or a super-size ($18.99) – we went big, of course! One sip and it’s instantly cooling and refreshing – perfect for drink lovers, and the alcohol level is mild so you won’t get tipsy easily. 🍣 Ginza Sushi A must-order for aesthetics! This grid-style sushi features super fresh cuts like salmon, tuna, scallop, yellowtail, and kanpachi. The chef selects the daily catch, so it's always fresh and beautifully presented – a definite order for sushi fans! 🦀 King Crab Bites Leg meat from king crab – firm, slightly coarse texture with a natural sweetness and ocean aroma. Served on a crispy, flaky pastry base that creates a delicious contrast. One bite delivers both crunch and sweet savoriness. 🔥 Dynamite Topped with broiled golden mayo, rich and creamy but not heavy. Inside: tender scallops, crab stick, and shrimp, all resting on a bed of rice – super satisfying in every bite. 🥥 Coco Loco Yellowtail Fresh yellowtail, firm yet delicate, paired with coconut milk for a tropical twist – smooth, lightly creamy, with a hint of sweetness. A truly unique flavor experience. 🏮 Kopan Izakaya 17547 Ventura Blvd, Ste 108-109, Encino, CA 91316 #100RestaurantsChallenge #FoodDiary #VALleyEats #LAFood #IzakayaNight #SummerDrinks
