Sun Onigiri@Daikokuya Annex Little Tokyo

Onigiri using Rice & Seaweed from Japan. Saw them popped up on IG before. Decided to try Mentai Mayo Cream Cheese for something special. Strong creamy cheesy flavor. Interested to try other flavors. Rice outside of the seaweed tends to stick to the paper it came with. Friendly service. Onigiri Gorichan in Osaka is my number 1 by far. Old mom & pop fastfood interior. Shaved ice made from Japanese Kuramoto ice block available. Rice ball ranges $5-$7. Paid metered street parking or private lot.

#7 Mentai Mayo Cream Cheese $6.50

sawa Astrea Caviar Sake Night@Little Tokyo ★★★

Fantastic Event. Caviar menu by Anthony-san paired with Premium Sake from Fifth Taste by Shota-san, along with Ryo-san. Menu different from Caviar Night last year, which was by Ryo-san. Love the Kuheiji Betsuatsurae 2021, 2022, and 2023 vintage comparison. Also enjoyed the Ohmine Sake line up. Beautiful handcrafted cocktails by Natalia. Lynn-san the bartender is always very friendly and welcoming. $500 per person with Sake Pairing included. $10 parking at private lot in weekends.
