Authentic Japanese Recipes with a Modern LA Twist from Rokusho

With his rare spirits, handmade sauces, and trained chefs in Tokyo, Rokusho combines traditional chops with ultramodern simplicity to produce a dining experience that embraces the present by celebrating its history. 

Rokusho’s Culinary Philosophy

At Rokusho, authenticity begins with intentions. Under the leadership of the Michelin-Ibhinit chef Hasshi Udatsu and Naotaka Ohashi, our culinary team follows the same principles that guide the kitchen of Tokyo's most respected restaurant: balance, crafts, and minimalism.

But we’re not here to simply replicate dishes—we reinterpret them. Each plate reflects the chef's deep training and their passion for infusing classic Japanese recipes with lively energy from LA. It's the kind of culinary storytelling that elevates a meal into an experience.

Signature Dishes That Reflect Authentic Japanese Recipes

Our menu has a sophisticated selection of recipes that embody the essence of authentic Japanese cooking, and adds the reward to California and the inventive details inspired by boldness.

• KushiKatsu Skewers—A nod to Osaka street food culture, our skewers include premium wagyu, jumbo shrimp, and seasonal vegetables, each lightly battered and fried to crisp perfection.

• Wagyu Sliders—A rich reinterpretation of Japanese beef, paired with house-made sauces and pillowy buns—simple, satisfying, and unmistakably refined.

• Katsu Sando—This Tokyo staple is elevated with delicate textures, bold umami, and impeccably fried cutlets. 

• Sushi & Crudo—From Toro Tartare to Yellowtail Crudo, our raw offerings highlight ultra-fresh seafood, precision knife work, and authentic sushi rice preparation.

These aren’t fusion dishes—they’re refinements rooted in Japanese technique and shaped by a West Hollywood lens.

Pairing Food with Japanese Mixology

The authenticity of Rokusho extends beyond the record. Our curated cocktails and liquor menu complement each plate and improve the overall experience.

Enjoy signature cocktails like

• Moon Over Mexico—Featuring tequila and Japanese citrus for a smoky-sweet balance.

• Yami et Aurum—A golden-hued drink with layered botanicals and premium Japanese spirits.

• Potosino—drafted with rare mezcal from San Luis Potosí, ideal alongside savory skewers. 

Our bar also features rare Japanese whiskeys, vintage mezcals, and expertly crafted highballs—all chosen to honor Japan’s deep drinking culture with a stylish LA twist.

Bringing Authentic Japanese Recipes to Life in LA

Los Angeles is not a stranger to Japanese food, but Rokusho does it differently. Here we respect the tradition without being bound by it. From the minimum design of our inner parts to the complexity of the taste of your plate, everything is purposefully curated to bring authentic Japanese recipes to life in a way that resonates with LA’s modern palate.

We get the source of first-class material directly from Japan and local markets. Each skewer, roll, and slider is fresh to order and ensures the crunch, tenderness, and flavor depth that defines proper Japanese cooking.
