Kura Sushi@Sawtelle ★★

Nice Salmon Roe Sushi. Order on tablet for fresher sushi. The Salmon Roe was pretty good. I like Tuna Yukhoe Gunkan. Sweet Shrimp was dry. Came to use my $5 off $15 coupon. With $3.95 per plate, I will need to order at least 4 plates so that it reaches $15 before tax and tips. Currently in collaboration with Peanuts. Free Snoopy blanket with every $70 spent for Rewards Member May 16-20, while supplies last.

Ikura (Salmon Roe) $3.95




Uni (one piece) $3.95, Tuna Yukhoe Gunkan $3.95

sawa x Kuheiji@Kaneyoshi Little Tokyo ★★★

sawa x Kuhieji Sake VIP Night Event with Live Zoom Tour. Best ever. Presented by Shota-san from Fifth Taste. Fantastic Omakase by Anthony and Ryo-san. Live Zoom tour with Kuheiji-san at Kuheiji Sake Brewery in Nagoya & Domaine Kuheiji vineyard in France with Hirotaka Ito. Introducing Kuheiji wines from France, launching at Michelin star restaurants in LA on this day. Special Event: $430 Omakase Course with Kuheiji Wine & Sake Pairing included. They went $100pp over budget for the ingredients, but they did not increase the price because Yoshi-san (Kaneyoshi) wanted everyone to have a good time at the event.
