"I just returned from a trip to Tokyo and Hakone and have been in denial about it for the better part of a week now. It was my fifth time to Japan, a country I adore for so many reasons: the spirit of taking care of society and community at large, where politeness is the norm; the incredibly efficient public transportation that makes me yearn for better train systems in Los Angeles;"
"And, of course, the iconic food. I've still been craving Japanese food since my return stateside. The solution is a visit to Sushi Kisen in Arcadia, a place that serves astounding Edomae-style sushi. I always order a platter of assorted sashimi and negitoro cut rolls freckled with green onions, as well as white fish tempura and clam miso soup. For me, the only thing missing from the menu is an umeboshi sour - my ultimate vice when I'm in Japan."
A weekly list highlights four Los Angeles dining options and a separate list spotlights cocktail bars. Sushi Kisen in Arcadia serves astounding Edomae-style sushi. Common orders include a platter of assorted sashimi, negitoro cut rolls freckled with green onions, white fish tempura, and clam miso soup. The menu does not include an umeboshi sour. Smashin' Hot Dogs in Silver Lake operates as a one-person stand outside Whole Foods 365 on Glendale Boulevard under an orange pop-up tent. The stand follows a two-errand-one-food-stop philosophy and offers lively seasonal toppings, including a Mexi dog with cotija cheese and chipotle sauce and a kimchi dog.
