Shokunin
Day 1: 5-Course Playful Omakase Tasting Series
Debuting last October, this buzzy new sushi restaurant from Margarita Kallas-Lee and Phillip Frankland Lee, the Michelin-Starred husband-and-wife team that gave Austin the uber-popular Sushi by Scratch, NADC Burger, and Pasta|Bar, jumped right onto Eater’s “Best New Restaurants” List and Infatuation’s “Hit List.” Shokunin, which refers to a master artisan, was inspired by the classic sushi bars along Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley," where Chef Lee and executive pastry chef Margarita Kallas-Lee came to love sushi and got to know each other. Occupying the same building on East Sixth Street as NADC Burger and Pasta|Bar, Shokunin uses seafood and Japanese ingredients shipped from Tokyo’s iconic Toyosu Fish Market. The result, courtesy of Chef Lee's righthand man (and our hosting chef) Christian Garcia, is a sushi experience beyond freshness to be treasured by all those who love this great food. Just so you know, there are also killer desserts on the menu, like a matcha-lime-white chocolate-and-shortbread bon bon and matcha affogato. This all sounds like music to our ears and we suspect that you feel the same. See you there!
