Omakase · Little Tokyo

Ten seats, one chef, the morning’s fish.

Behind a linen curtain at the back of Little Tokyo, a hinoki counter for ten. You leave the choosing to us; we keep the evening quiet.

A course from the omakase counter: seared fish under shiso and a little sauce on a pale ceramic plate

About two hours, 9 courses and around twenty pieces. The menu follows what came in that morning, so it changes nightly. Tell us about allergies when you book; we can work around shellfish and most others, but not raw fish itself.

  2. Sashimi お造り

    Two cuts from the morning market, with fresh wasabi grated at the counter.

  3. Yakimono 焼物

    Something grilled over charcoal: black cod in saikyo miso, in autumn.

    Five pieces: white fish, squid, kohada, sweet shrimp and seared golden-eye snapper.

  5. A cup of shio 塩椀

    A small cup of our morning shio broth with one fold of noodles. The ramen side of the house, in two sips.

  6. Nigiri, second wave 握り

    Five more: the three cuts of tuna, sea urchin, and ikura in a nori cup.

  7. Temaki 手巻き

    A hand roll of chopped toro and pickled radish, straight from the chef’s hands.
