Sasabune West L.A. is moving to a new location in May!

After 8 years in our current location we have decided to scale down to a more intimate atmosphere. Sasabune West L.A. is scheduled to move nearby into a smaller restaurant in May. We are looking forward to improving the dining experience by getting to know our customers. The new restaurant will be smaller but it will give us a chance to focus on a more customized dining experience for you. Thank you for all the support you have given us the last 8 years at our current location. We hope you will enjoy the new and improved Sasabune West L.A. that is to come. We will keep you posted and announce opening date and location as soon as it is confirmed. 

Cherry blossom trees have begun to bloom here in Los Angeles.  The blooming of cherry blossoms (known as Sakura in Japanese) is very significant in Japan as it is the sign of warmer weather approaching. A great way to celebrate and admire cherry blossoms is to have a picnic under the blooming cherry blossom trees. There are a few great places in Los Angeles to see these magnificent trees. Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge and Lake Balboa in the San Fernando Valley are a few beautiful parks you can enjoy “Hanami” (flower viewing).   also check out: http://www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org if you are in the D.C. area through April. Above is a  picture of some cherry blossom trees taken last year in my home town of Satsuma in Kagoshima, Japan at the Bunka Center which is the local community center. Enjoy! -Chef Nobi

Inspiring Story of Fisherman Planting Trees

As spring approaches, I am more aware of the impact we have on the earth. As a sushi-man, I have great respect for my ingredients. I respect the fish, the ocean, and the earth. I believe it is important to realize and acknowledge the significance we have on our planet. 

Did you know, in Japan, there are fisherman who are planting trees and cultivating the forest? This practice has become very common. The soft humus that is created by planting trees soaks up all the rainwater, and filters it as it passes underground to become the river that flows into the ocean. This prevents erosion which can cause pollution.

I am inspired by my friends back in Japan. And hope that we can do something like this to help the environment, here in Los Angeles.
