ISSHIN is located just near UCLA. During lunchtime,
the restaurant is full of businessmen. Because
of their location, customers also include students
and staff of UCLA and the hospital. They have
been in business as a casual restaurant for locals
for 26 long years. The terrace has sunlight coming
in, and you can enjoy a meal at your own pace.
During the hot season, you can order their famous
cold sake and creative dishes. |

Regarding their ingredients, they use extraordinary
items. Since they import from Japan, just looking
at the fish they have never seen before amuses
the locals. They use different fish everyday,
so every time you go in is a new experience. This
is a restaurant that teaches you more about fish
each time you go in.

Spicy Sushi Set (Available
for dinner only)
The most popular dish at ISSHIN is the Spicy
Sushi. We would like you to focus on the interesting
sushi rice. They do not just use sushi rice,
but they fry it. By frying the surface, it adds
crunchiness and a little bit of stickiness to
the rice. Add the aroma of the oil, and the
sushi rice is ready to satisfy your taste buds.
But there”Ēs more. On top of that goes the fish,
and the Spicy Sushi set is done. |
|
| In addition to that,
there is Spicy Tuna Jalapeno, which includes a jalapeno
placed on top of spicy tuna, Spicy Albacore Onion,
which is minced albacore and onion marinated with
garlic ponzu, and Spicy Salmon Crunch, which consists
of baked salmon pieces and tempura bits covered with
carp sauce.All of them are spicy as their names say,
but there are many who are addicted to them. |

Seared
Albacore
This is a fresh albacore seared and sliced.
You can see from the picture that the contrast
between the seared part and the raw part is
beautiful. Depending on the color, the texture
changes too. The fish itself is very soft, and
it glides over your tongue. There is a jalapeno
slice on each slice, and accentuates the freshness
of the albacore. The sauce used is garlic ponzu.
You can tangle the thinly sliced white onion
in the sauce and enjoy it with the albacore.
It also matches the sesame seeds sprinkled on
top. |
|
|
| This popular seared
albacore is mostly consumed by repeat customers.
During dinner, orders come in constantly for
this wonderful dish. Why don”Ēt you try it too?
