Utsuwa (serving plates)
I do not think that plates are just objects that serve food.
Traditionally, there are different types
of plates used in serving
Japanese cuisine--china, porcelain, lacquer, glass, silverware,
ironware,
bamboo--they are used according to the seasons. Although Los
Angeles is not known for its seasons, we here at Mori Sushi believe
that we can bring out the best in the dishes we prepare
by using the
appropriate serving plates. We use plates that enhance the flavor of our
dishes
in hope that our customers can taste the difference.
Most of our plates are orignals,
handmade by Owner/Chef Morihiro
Onodera and Chief Chef Hiroyuki Taniguchi.
Menu
Mori Sushi is a sushi restaurant. We do not buy any ingredients besides fish
and vegetables.
All dishes are prepared using either fish or
vegetables. The non-sushi dishes are fish-based,
but not entirely
traditional in their preparation. We hope you enjoy the
variety of the fishes.
Alcohol
I believe Japanese sake and champagne go best with sushi; however we do
carry beer and a
limited selection of white wine. I would like to
thank Mr. Sang Yoon, owner of
Father's Office in Santa Monica for his
advice.
