"While doing research for a super-secret guide (just kidding, the Japanese Breakfast guide drops on Monday - please read it), I swung by Azay, a charming restaurant in Little Tokyo that serves one of the only Japanese breakfasts in town. It’s a simple dish - nothing but a tray of broiled fish, tamago, tofu, miso soup, side of rice, plus a few pickles. But folks, this isn’t just my favorite meal of the week - it’s one of my favorite dishes in the entire city. The broiled fish comes with a flaky top, charred bottom, but completely moist meat in the middle. Bright yellow eggs taste slightly sweet, and resembles an elementary school kid’s eraser in shape and size. Plus, the portions are perfect - not too big, not too small, and you can walk away feeling full, without needing to undo a button on your pants. I honestly could write ten thousand more words about this breakfast set, but do check out that guide on Monday (please). -Kat Hong, Staff Writer" - the infatuation los angeles crew
