Sasabune Wilshire - Los angeles, CA

No Special Rolls.
No Trends. Trust Me!

Founded in 1993 on Sawtelle by Nobi Kusuhara, we were among
the first to introduce true omakase to Los Angeles.

We use warm temperature rice and follow traditional techniques that honor balance, simplicity, and craft.

After taking over in 2019, Hiroki Totsuka continues the exact approach he learned here since 2003.
Authentic. Classic. Intentional.
