La Bombance, a notable Tokyo restaurant, has launched Asakura in Los Angeles, taking over the former Yamakase space. This kaiseki establishment, led by chef Takumi Nakamura, offers a multi-course dining experience that is more composed than sushi omakase, featuring intricate dishes made with seasonal ingredients. While kaiseki is not long established in Los Angeles, its popularity has been building since N/Naka and other restaurants introduced it. Asakura aims to maintain the artistic presentation that defines kaiseki while providing an intimate dining environment.
