Best Japanese !!!

The best Japanese restaurant and my most favorite of all restaurants in LA is URASAWA. It is an exclusive VIP restaurant where you have to make a reservation at least a day prior to your visit. The restaurant will not take their customers in a walk-in basis. It is a small artistic place holding no more than 15-20 people a night (I believe they open for lunch now too). There is only one head chef, Hiro Urasawa, one assistant, and one or more waiter/waitress depending on the number of customers each night. Hiro is an artist. He created his dishes thoughtfully from a combination of traditional Japanese and fusion Japanese. Anyone who watches him while he create his dishes will agree that he really cares about his food. He once said to me that he doesnt smoke or drink because he's afraid that it will desensitized his tongue and he wont be able to taste his food accurately. In this restaurant, you wont be given a menu; the chef will prepare a set of food for you, but you can certainly make requests. The food is, needless to say, absolutely divine!!! He will start will a few small appetizers such as cold steamed egg with salmon roe on top. Then he will continue on to serve larger portions of food such as toro for you to grill on hot stone and shabu shabu with foie gras, lobsters, and kobe beef. After that, he will start with his sushi made to perfection by extremely fresh fish from the fisherman's market in the morning, skillfully prepared sushi rice, and wasabi freshly scraped from its plant (not the fake ass ones from the tubes in supermarkets). Finally, he will serve great Japanese deserts with traditional green tea and oolong tea to help digest the food. The price would range from 250 minimum to 300 per person. By the way Sake here are top class too.

Pardon me for the length of this post but I must describe this restaurant and the food in deatil since it is the best restaurant I've been to so far in Los Angeles.

I dont think the restaurant has its own website but you can search further in Google. Here's one website I found: http://www.gayot.com/restaurants/features/urasawa.html
