"The odd circular building and location—on a random stretch of Pico near the 10 freeway—make walking into this kaiseki restaurant all the more exciting. The intimate and spare setting keeps the spotlight on the man behind the sushi counter: Chef Shunji, one of the most accomplished Japanese chefs in Los Angeles. He's a master of Japanese-style sushi, which is cut to exacting proportions and paired with perfectly cooked rice. He is also a kaiseki chef of the highest order, making dishes that reflect the changes of the season from L.A. to Hokkaido: think tomato “tofu” in dashi, conch paired with octopus and purple potato, and uni topped with shaved truffle ." - Hugh Garvey, Krista Simmons, Maxwell Williams
