Chawanmushi

📍 Los Angeles Japanese/Omakase $$$$

at Shunji

"Shunji N.mura's chawanmushi is the silky steamed egg custard with dashi and seasonal garnish that is the most quietly beautiful dish at one of Los Angeles's most serious omakase restaurants. The custard is set precisely and the dashi flavor infuses every layer. This is Japanese technique at its most refined."
