This Gorgeous Japanese Spot Feels Like a Trip to the Showa Era 🇯🇵✨

Tucked away in a quiet Santa Monica neighborhood not far from the 3rd Street Promenade, this hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant truly transports you to Japan! With private rooms and a pet-friendly policy, it really checks all the boxes ✅ 🌟 Fried Tofu & Takoyaki — Classic, comforting izakaya starters that taste just like homemade Japanese family dishes. 🌟 Halibut & Amberjack Carpaccio — As beautiful as they are delicious, like edible art ❤️ The amberjack comes with a special Japanese green peach 🍑 — tiny, intensely aromatic, and unlike any peach I’ve tasted before. 🌟 Yakitori served with a personal mini grill—you can lightly char them yourself! Highly recommend the sea bass skewer — tender, fragrant, and perfectly cooked. 🌟 Fish Roe & Beef Intestine Hot Pot — Creamy, savory, and packed with texture. The soft, chewy intestines paired with popping fish roe make every spoonful a delight. A truly immersive dining experience—cozy, aesthetic, and full of flavor. #HiddenGem #JapaneseCuisine #IzakayaFood #YakitoriLovers#ImmersiveDining #JapaneseFood #CozyVibes #LAEats
