Shibumi DTLA

Had my best meal here the other night.

japanese sea bream, ginger bud, pickled plum irizake

5 year old miso

Persimmon, ginko nuts, whipped tofu
Not bad, the persimmon could have been sweeter.

Bonito

Steamed abalone, fresh mochi, ginger miso
Loved the super tender abalone paired with the even softer mochi.

Miyazaki Wagyu, nori, fresh wasabi
When I saw @Chowseeker1999’s pictures of this dish I knew it would be epic and wow it did not disappoint. Meltingly soft wagyu with super crisp nori. Perfect.

Free range chicken, wild mushroom, egg yolk sauce

Sprouted “8” grain rice, house-made miso with mushroom

pork jowl
This was so good with the rice. Fatty, tender, smoky, crispy, porky.

yahata-maki - burdock wrapped with fresh unagi
This was an Omakase special and a Kyoto classic. Fresh unagi was firm yet tender and wrapped around crunchy, chewy burdock, topped with a slightly sweet unagi sauce. So damn good.

Japanese chizu-keki, pluot
Like Uncle Tetsu’s but better

Toto
