Eigikutei 栄菊亭@Little Tokyo ★★★

Great Kaiseki Meal, Great Company. Grand opening day. Like Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories (深夜食堂) in real life. Everyone at the sushi bar became friends after the 3-hour course meal. Courses are Yawaragi $130, Irodori $160, and Mai $190 per person. Food similar to Wadatsumi Beverly Hills [closed]. Chill vibe simiar to Yamakase. Green tea and Matcha tea are free. Limited metered street parking.
