Kaiseki Motoishi@Beverly Hills ★★★

Wow. Fantastic Traditional Kaiseki Experience at counter. Exquisite presentation. Absolutely delicious. Super friendly & welcoming environment. Kazu-san's culinary skills were absolutely amazing. Last Rice Dish Nanatsuboshi was like a much elevated version of TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan) and was refillable. Yamato-san (owner of Sushi Yamamoto, Sushi Kisen, & Tonchinkan) was cooking as well. Love our server Mino-san from Sushi Kisen. My top 3 Kaiseki are now n/naka, Hayato, & Kaiseki Motoishi. Everyone (all super foodies) became friends by the end of the dinner. Realized that we were all connected, especially through Shunji-san. $350 per person. Corkage $50 per 750mL. Complimentary filtered water available. Self-parking $10 at lot. Pop-ups on Sunday & Monday nights at Sushi Yamamoto. Soba lunch pop-ups on Sundays. DM @kaiseki.motoishi to book.

Sushi Yamamoto@Beverly Hills ★★★

Favorite Sushi Restaurant. Yusuke-san seeks perfection and constantly makes updates on his menu seasonally. Incredible service and personal attention to detail from Yusuke-san. Sekogani (Female Snow Crab w/ Eggs) from Hyogo in season, and it was amazing. The Taka Tuna they get is exclusive for them from Japan. Had the honor to try Benny Blanco's Special Shrimp from Spain. Finally get to try the new limited edition Akabu Kohaku from Fifth Taste. Omakase $390. Wine & Sake Pairing $235. Corkage fee $150. Hot green tea $9. Bottled water $9 (filtered tap water not available). Reservations via Tock. Valet parking, $10 flat rate self-parking after 6pm, or park at Beverly Canon Gardens Parking (240 N. Beverly Dr) for $5 flat rate after 6pm with 1.5 blocks walk. [developing story]
