Morihiro@Atwater Village ★★★

Edomae Style Sushi to perfection, comparable to Jiro Sushi in Tokyo. One-Michelin-Star. Exquisite presentation. Super fresh sashimi with less oil. Perfect small rice portion on the sushi. Rice mixed with red vinegar, Edomae style. Abundant of dishes. Rice specifically grown for him from his hometown, the Iwate Perfecture. Bought some uncooked rice home for $15/lb. Chef Mori retired from Mori Sushi and came back. He said making good sushi makes him happy. Humble man. He's also good friends with Shunji-san from Shunji Sushi. Sushi Counter (with Chef Mori) is $350-$400 per person. Wine pairing $150 at counter (7 glasses) and $75 at table (4 glasses). Omakase only. Reservations via Tock. Corkage fee is $50.

Sushi Kaneyoshi@Little Tokyo ★★★

Fantastic Omakase Sushi with the best ingredients. Yoshi-san is from Yokohama. He's from Michelin star restaurants and is super friendly. Reservation via Tock. $300 per person. Corkage fee is $50. Better deal to order sake bottle from them. Location is very tricky. Be sure to read and follow instructions from Tock.
