Will do!

I was able to do this. I picked up my chirashi and raku bentos at the same time. I was even able to place my raku order through chef sugishita. You’ll just need to schedule for when raku is open (lunch m-f 12-2, dinner m-sat 5-8).

Chef sugishita also delivers. So another option is to get your chirashi delivered and ask if he can deliver your raku order as well.

Perfect!

I can confirm he will deliver both the chirashi and “regular” Raku menu items if you are in range.

Hi @TheCookie,

Looks like everyone answered your question already. :slight_smile: But yes, if you want to support Aburiya Raku, then ordering Chef Sugishita’s chirashi is not going to do that; that’s his side business / special order.

But if you saw in my thread and here, there are plenty of delicious Raku offerings as well. Enjoy!

Hi @PorkyBelly,

Looks wonderful! Thanks for the great pics and report. :slight_smile: Was that grilled Nodoguro over rice? :slight_smile:

And what were the other items? How was it? Thanks.

I think at this point we can declare the Japanese are the best in the lunch game. From convenience stores to supermarkets to mom-n-pops to sushi restaurants and everything in between the Japanese have the strongest lunch game

I love Japanese food but what is next level is how serious they take presentation in the togo packaging the quality of the packaging itself. Even the humble onigiri in the supermarket is packaged perfectly so the nori status crisp.

same owner , just different concept?

187

I am guessing new owner.

Sleuthing reveals a food truck:
The guy pictured is not the owner, but says the owner is his client.

A couple weeks back, I saw this truck parked on Los Angeles St between 1st and 2nd in Little Tokyo.
