Oh COOL! It looks like a beautiful space, and so close to home! Thanks for the post; can’t wait to try it. I do hope Alhambra can support such a place.

just went for lunch - very enjoyable for $120. Had a great conversation with Chef Azumi. I’m surprised even with lunch they are preparing two different shari.

A small braised octopus starter
12 pieces of nigiri
1 hand roll
1 miso soup
1 piece tamago

All done in under 90 minutes.

@Clayfu

Sounds like a super lunch. I admire their work ethic and respect for the customer. Fumio-san and Kwan-san run a tight ship at Kogane.

I’ve driven by that plaza so many times in my life and to open the door to that gorgeous sushi bar is a surprise in itself ha!

I’ve only admired the numerous kumquat trees in that plaza (won’t say that I plucked any )
