Decent Authentic Unagi from Japan. $140 8-Course Dinner for dineLA 4/28-5/12. 5 kinds of Sake Pairing for $45. Good deal and goes very well with the dineLA menu. Mimurosugi Junmai Daiginjo for the 1st Course Pairing was nice and fruity with lychee flavor. Great for starter. 2nd Course Kyokusen Junmai Daiginjo was pure with slight carbonation. Perfect pairing with Sashimi. Also another 2nd Course option, Kamoizumi Junmai Daiginjo was sophisticated with mushroom and leather flavor. Perfect pairing for Truffle Oil Salmon. Nice staff. Because the Tempura took a while to come out, they gave us 2 additional glasses of sake on the house. Green tea (pot) $3. Free limited parking in underground lot.
