@feastinglikeaqueen: N/Naka | Where Japanese Tradition Meets Culinary Artistry. N/Naka is an intimate, 21-course modern kaiseki experience where Japanese tradition meets California’s seasonal bounty. Expect a thoughtful progression of fresh sashimi, delicate seafood, and beautifully crafted warm courses, each reflecting the finest seasonal ingredients from Japan and California. One of my favorite courses was the Zensai — seven delightful appetizer bites presented in an adorable bento-style box. The creamy potato purée and tempura bites were my personal favorites. But the true star of the evening? Uni and Dungeness crab. 🦀 Served in an actual sea urchin shell, this exceptional creation featured warm Dungeness crab meat and broth, a delicate egg-white soufflé, and a whole uni on top. Every element came together beautifully. Honestly, this deserves a spot at the top of their must-try list! Another standout was the rockfish, perfectly complemented by snap peas and kelp that enhanced the fish’s delicate flavor. Simply exquisite. Then there’s Shiizakana, their signature dish served year-round: an abalone and truffle pasta that debuted at the chef’s table. While enjoyable, it wasn’t my personal highlight of the evening. A little tip before you go: This intimate venue has no bar or indoor waiting area, so arrive right on time. Seating is punctual, and guests wait outdoors until their designated reservation time. #kaiseki #michelinstar #lafoodie #finedining #losangeles
