The room

Ten seats. One counter.
Every course served within view.

At Kasen's ten-seat counter, each course is prepared and presented by the chef, just moments before it is served.

The pace is unhurried, leaving room to appreciate each dish and the conversation that follows.

The course

Fifteen courses,
for lunch or dinner.

The meal begins with otsumami appetizers, moves through sashimi and sushi, and finishes with cooked courses rooted in Japanese washoku. Seasonal seafood, Kasen’s own recipes and carefully chosen companion ingredients give familiar dishes a distinct character.

Kasen’s character lies in how the details work together: the preparation of the fish, the warmth and seasoning of the shari, the sauces and the way each course is served. Each course is introduced as it reaches the counter.

Lineage

The Los Angeles roots behind Kasen.

Kasen’s sushi continues an evolution begun thirty years ago with Shinji Murata. Seasonal local ingredients meet Japan’s live fish markets, while technique reexamines tradition. Kim Chu carries this philosophy forward at Kasen.
