This is hands down the best Japanese food I've ever had in LA! 🌸
Weekend beach day vibes! 🏖️ We visited a Japanese restaurant not far from the beach! We were super lucky to catch their weekend specials! 🌟 Any wine for just $6! Some drinks can be refilled for an extra $1! Plus, there were special dishes only available on weekends! We definitely came to the right place! 🌟 I started with a cocktail 🍸 to whet my appetite. It was delicious and super easy to drink! 🌟 For appetizers, I had oysters 🦪 with sea urchin and fish roe. The freshness was off the charts! The fish roe was large and burst in your mouth, so aromatic! The sea urchin and oysters were incredibly sweet and fresh! 🌟 Crispy deep-fried enoki mushrooms! They were super crispy, fragrant, and paired perfectly with the cocktail. So yummy! 🌟 One-bite cheese mushrooms These were packed with mushrooms, cheese, and garlic. Not greasy at all! So flavorful! Love it! 🌟 Black truffle eel Delicious! The black truffle and eel were a perfect match. The sauce on top was amazing, and the eel was perfectly cooked and flavorful! This is the best eel dish I've ever had in a Japanese restaurant! 🌟 Jellyfish This was the freshest, crispest, and most delicious jellyfish I've ever had! 🌟 Soy sauce octopus 🐙 The octopus legs were tender and chewy, packed with meat! 🌟 One-bite snow crab The crab meat was incredibly sweet and paired with crispy baguette pieces. Perfect for sipping drinks! 🌟 Thick-cut pork The texture of the meat was amazing—perfectly marbled and not greasy at all! It was so flavorful and came with a soft-boiled egg. Pure comfort food! 🌟 White wine Aromatic and so easy to drink. Perfect for a weekend buzz! 🌟 Tempura shrimp, eel, and avocado roll Each piece was packed with large chunks of avocado, shrimp, and eel—perfectly matched flavors and all my favorite ingredients! After eating this, all my worries disappeared. I was just happy! 🌟 Fried octopus legs These were also delicious! The batter was flavorful, thin, and crispy—pure meat goodness! ✨ To top it all off, they gave us complimentary dessert! (So amazing!) We had tempura ice cream, which was absolutely delicious! 🍨 ✨ The ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic! It was very Japanese-style, with private booths, rooms close to the kitchen, and a main dining area! ✨ The service was great, the music was perfect, and the atmosphere was amazing! ✨ This place has officially become my favorite Japanese restaurant in LA! 🍴 Restaurant Name: Sapporo Sushi 🅿️ Parking: Free parking lot right in front! #LosAngelesFoodie #LosAngelesEats #LongBeachFood #JapaneseFood #SushiLovers #Foodie #MustTryLA #HiddenGems #Sashimi #JapaneseCuisine
