Otaru-Style Izakaya Vibe in LA | Sashimi & Sushi Spot 🍣

Just discovered a cozy izakaya that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into Otaru, Japan! Quiet, intimate, and perfect for enjoying beautifully crafted sushi in a relaxed setting. 🏮✨ 🧊 Snow Hana So delicious! Inside: rich salmon, creamy avocado, and fresh tuna, all wrapped in a tangy pickled radish. The sauce is light and refreshing—a perfect start to the meal. It truly melts in your mouth like snow! 🍣 Salmon Blue Crab Blue crab topped with a slice of fresh black truffle—umami heaven! Paired with silky salmon, each bite bursts with flavor and luxury. 🐚 Uni Scallop The scallop is so tender it dissolves on your tongue, with a subtle natural sweetness. Topped with uni, fish roe, and a touch of wasabi-infused scallions, it’s served over a lemon slice for a bright, shiso-kissed finish. 🦀 Snow Crab Bites Generous snow crab piled on buttery, toasted bread—crisp outside, soft inside. The rich butter and sweet crab combo is irresistible! 👨‍💻 About me: A data scientist by day 🧱, longtime LA local and food lover sharing hidden gems across Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
