| This
is a restaurant located right near the
Beverly Center on the corner. When you
open the door, all of the sushi chefs
welcome you with a friendly “irasshai!”
The counter seats are pretty big, and
they make you want to sit on them. The
fresh fish lying before you lure you
in. Dining tables are set up in the
back of the room, and there is also
a patio where you can sit outside and
enjoy the west coast wind. The interior
is mostly black and stylish, but they
also use wood grain that gives it a
natural touch. No matter what the time,
the restaurant is full with mostly American
customers who are enjoying their food.
Many of the customers have their “usuals,”
and they typically order the same thing
time and time again. This restaurant
is a hot spot in Beverly Hills, and
always full of repeat customers who
know what good taste is all about. |

Crunchy
Roll $9.50
Just one look and you can see that this crunchy
roll blows away any other one you have seen
before. They mix tenkasu (tempura bits) and
real crab, and harden it into a stick shape
and use it for the topping and the inside.
By mixing the crab with the tenkasu, the sweet
taste of the crab is emphasized. There are
tobiko in the mix too, and every bite you
take you can feel them pop in your mouth.
Add that to the crunchiness of the tenkasu,
and you will have a fun time eating this roll.
There is also a little spiciness from the
red pepper, and your chopsticks will not stop
picking this dish up. It goes well with rice,
and with the slight scent of nori, you can
see why this crunchy roll is a big hit. You
can see that they use a lot of crabmeat because
the roll is laid out so simply.

Creamy Crispy Black Tiger $10.95
You cannot help but smile when the dish
is laid out in front of you. Here is
the reason: the plate is pure white,
but the shape of it is very unique.
On top of that is the fried black tiger
shrimp. The sauce is a mixture of mayonnaise
and ketchup, which results in a simple
yet rich taste. It is so smooth you
cannot tell mayonnaise and ketchup is
used. This is because the main focus
is the black tiger. The shrimp itself
is a little sweet and very plump. It
is fried masterfully, leaving a slight
crunchy texture in your mouth. When
the shrimp and sauce are combined in
your mouth, the taste changes into something
a little parsley-flavored. Because it
is fried in fresh and high quality oil,
the aftertaste is a refreshing one.
