Junmai Sake possesses a robust rice flavor and can be enjoyed either
warm or cold.
They range from dry and sharp to soft and rounded, and much attention
is paid to their character and structure. Many Sake drinkers prefer
Junmai labels to more expensive Sake because of their full body
Ginjo Sake often provide fruity and floral nuances, and tend to be light and refreshing. To receive the ginjo classification, Sake must use rice that has been milled down to 60% of its original size prior to steaming
Daiginjo label is the ultimate sake brewers’ achievement. For this Sake, the rice kernel may be polished down to as little as 30% of its’ original size. Due to the careful preparation required at every stage, daiginjo sakes cannot be mass-produced and are brewed in limited quantities
Sake is served chilled, however, Junmai may be served warm upon request
Please inquire about Limited or Seasonal Sake with your server

Mori Onodera, Owner and Chief Sushi Chef, was born and raised in the Iwate Prefecture in northern Japan.
Mori dreamed of becoming a sushi chef at the age of 6, and began his career the day after he graduated from high school. Determined to pursue his dream, he headed to Tokyo were he studied the essentials of traditional Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi, at Kintaro Sushi.
In 1985, a job offer in Los Angeles landed him a career in the States. Immersed in a new culture for the first time, Mori refined his skills while absorbing the many aspects of Western-style cuisine.
He worked for Katsu on Hillhurst, R23, Matsuhisa, Hatsuhana in NYC, and Takao. In 2000, Mori’s dream came true as Mori Sushi was established in West Los Angeles.
Mori Sushi has earned rave reviews from the Los Angeles Times and garners the highest marks and praise in the Zagat Survey each year. It has the distinction of receiving a coveted Michelin star in the first-ever Los Angeles edition of the prestigious Michelin Guide in 2008, and again in 2009.
I do not think that plates are just objects that serve food. Traditionall,y 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.
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.
