    Still dreaming ✨ of this #SushiKaiseki @eigikutei! I ended 2023 🎉 with the $130 Yawaragi, and I was impressed 👌🏻. Some people know my favorite restaurant 🥢 in LA is a Kaiseki experience so I have very high standards, and #Eigikutei definitely impressed. Also they are really affordable alcohol like hot sake 🍶 for $8.50. So I highly recommend adding it to your list 📝 this year 😉. P.S. Thank you Chef Minoru and Tomoko for the hospitality 💖

    Highly recommended. Many might consider the prices prohibitive, but it felt just perfect for what is served and how it is served. I will return again and again, as it is a fantastic experience and a very high level of Japanese cuisine that I find sublime!

    We had the seafood yosenabe set. The kaiseki appetizers were varied and elegant. The yosenabe was very flavorful. The Key is to cook vegetables first in the broth. The bran was incredibly sweet. Portions were plentiful. Couldn’t finish the rice porridge as last course and they were kind enough to cook it in the back and packaged it to go.
