Nozawa Bar in Sugarfish – Beverly Hills
by Alyssa Ramos 
Possibilities are that if you dwell in LA, frequent LA, or are a foods connoisseur, you have heard of the legendary Chef Nozawa and his ridiculously astounding restaurant chain of the greatest sushi you’ll ever consume, Sugarfish.
I knew the story behind Chef Nozawa, I was informed it numerous occasions when I visited the Sugarfish in Studio City (the authentic location), Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica, I did not know, even so, that they made available personal tastings by a Master Chef (and long time good friend of Chef Nozawa) Osamu Fujita.
Apparently it’s a genuinely big deal. My good friends who manufactured the reservation and who often travel to LA and Miami for do the job warned me to be prepared by 7pm and to come hungry, but I had no thought what they have been talking about, I could eat sushi for days if I wanted to. I was incorrect. So incredibly, incredibly, deliciously incorrect.
Reservations ought to be produced a month or much more in advance, and my mates informed me that they actually guide the exclusive Nozawa Bar that only seats 12 maximum, at the identical time they book their plane tickets.
When we arrived, we have been led previous the typical dining place of Sugarfish on Canon Drive in Beverly Hills, and brought back to a heavy wooden door that mentioned “Employees Only”. Behind the door was an L-shaped sushi bar with precisely 12 seats, and Chef Fujita behind it hunting exceptionally intimidating in his tall white chef’s hat and fierce expression, flanked by his two correct hand guys.
We have been presented with thin rectangular menus, but not to order from – to see what we would be served through the two hour-long course. The menu described in detail what we would be served, and which dishes had been proposed to consume without the need of soy sauce…not that it was required, due to the fact the two assistants would whisper “No soy sauce please” as they served particular dishes.
Just contemplating about it now is making my mouth water, and there’s a excellent possibility I’ll go get sushi for dinner tonight. I don’t even know how to get started to make clear the pieces of prime grade, completely sliced seafood, atop of warm, fluffy rice, that all seemed to just melt in my mouth the minute it went in. …that is, the ones that I could get in…my rice stored falling apart mainly because it was so melty, but fortunately, the table attendant would right away wipe up any fallen food just before the Chef could see and get mad. Rumors are that people today have been kicked out for not eating adequately!
The menu is subject to adjust, but right here are all of the interesting and yummy objects that we acquired to sample:
