San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles · restaurant
A Michelin-starred omakase counter in Encino with no menu — just the chef handing over whatever came in that day, from a six-bite appetizer plate of Hokkaido conch, firefly squid, and jellyfish through 13 pieces of nigiri and tamago. The fish quality sits at the top of what the Valley offers, and the running commentary between courses makes a long meal feel short.
