On the Grid : Shojin
"Jun Matoshiro's brainchild casually tosses around overused LA-centric buzz words such organic, natural, vegan, and macrobiotic. But this alternative Japanese eatery manages to maintain a level of ingenuity to entice any foodie, regardless of food restrictions, preferences or politics, elevating mushrooms, rice or tofu by experimenting with them alongside hijiki, lotus root and konnyaku. The ambience is sufficiently intimate to make it a viable date spot." - Sandwich Video
