The End of an Era - The Airy, Pillowy, Handmade Japanese Sweets of Sakura-ya

In this day and age in So Cal, traditional Japanese Confectionery might be considered an acquired taste. While Mochi Ice Cream has been making inroads across America, items such as traditional Mochi (Pounded Sticky Rice Sweets) and Manju (another variety of Sweets with an exterior made of Flour that can be Steamed, Baked, etc.) are nowhere near as common. And finding a real Kashiya (Sweets Shop) that still makes their Japanese confections by hand is rarer still.

So it's quite unfortunate that when one looks up at the old, weather-beaten sign for Sakura-ya, there's a good chance this gem of a Sweets Shop will be bypassed for the newer, hipper, pastel-neon-colored "[insert random color] [insert random fruit]" modern Sweet Shop instead.


Originally opened in 1960 by Masayasu Fujita and his wife, Yoshiye Fujita, Sakura-ya has survived for nearly half a century(!), and is now in the hands of their sons, Mas Fujita and Yuki Fujita (the sign and storefront have remained intact, unchanged from when their parents first opened the shop). Their father learned the craft of making Mochi and Manju at the early age of 15 years old, when he apprenticed under a local Sweets maker in Japan. He taught the craft to both of his sons, Mas and Yuki, who now carry on the family tradition by waking up every morning and handmaking all the Mochi and Manju sweets for the day.

Walking inside Sakura-ya feels like a time warp to a much earlier era, and the only point of interest is one small, simple glass case next to the cash register with handwritten signs describing each traditional Japanese Sweet. There's no glitz or glamor, just an array of ~10+ types of freshly made Japanese Sweets (most of which are gone by mid-afternoon (having learned the hard way over the years:)).


On this visit, I order one of each item and head over to share these wonderful creations with some dear friends. (^_^)



During each month of May, Sakura-ya makes a seasonal sweet known as Kashiwa Mochi (Mochi wrapped in Kashiwa (Oak Leaf)) in celebration of Kodomo no Hi (Children's Day, a Japanese holiday in the first week of May).


Unlike the regular Mochi, Mas and Yuki make the Kashiwa Mochi with regular Rice Flour (instead of Sweet Rice Flour), resulting in a denser, heartier offering. The Oak Leaf doesn't impart as intense a fragrance as I'd hoped (compared to Sakura Mochi, for example). Still, it's a clean, very fresh-tasting result, with the Azuki (Red Bean)'s flavors coming through the most.


Their Ohagi is a sort of inside-out Mochi, with Tsubuan (Whole Azuki Beans cooked and sweetened, non-strained) on the outside, and unpounded, whole Sweet Rice on the inside.


The Tsubuan is outstanding! Since the Azuki Bean isn't strained, it retains its husk and has a great toothsome texture (a more "rustic paste" if you will). It's only lightly sweet, and the balance of the Tsubuan with the tender, moist, whole grain Sweet Rice is fantastic! :)


Their Kiku Manju is another popular choice, with a Pancake-like Batter on the outside that wraps up Mochi, which is filled with Tsubuan (Non-strained, Whole Azuki Bean).


The pancake-like exterior with a bit of the Azuki Bean reminds me of Imagawa-yaki, but this is served at room temperature, and is a bit more dense with the Pounded Rice in the middle.


Their classic White Mochi (Pounded Sticky Rice with Tsubuan filling) is the one offering that compels me to drive over to Sakura-ya no matter where I am in So Cal at the time! It's that good! :)


Biting into a White Mochi is the culinary equivalent of laying down on the softest goose down pillow and stretching out on ultra fine silk sheets in bed on a lazy Sunday morning. Imagine something so soft and tender that it's pillowy and cloud-like.

The use of the non-strained, more rustic Tsubuan is a perfect match here: The Azuki Bean provides the stronger textural contrast to the ultra-silky smooth goodness of the Mochi exterior (which uses a Sweet Rice Flour compared to the regular Rice Flour earlier in the Kashiwa Mochi). This type of handmade offering is truly wonderful in every sense of the word! Perfection. (^_^)


Their Pink Mochi (Pounded Sticky Rice with Shiroan (White Bean)) is just as impressive.


Besides the color difference, the Pink Mochi uses a Shiroan (White Bean)-type filling, with the Fujita brothers using a type of Lima Bean that's been boiled, sweetened and strained. It's less sweet than the strained version of the Azuki Bean, while still retaining its more refined texture, along with the same ultra-silky, airy goodness of the hand-pounded Mochi exterior! :)


Their Orange Mochi uses Tangerine Fruit to give it the color and very mild citrusy scent. When I first tried it, I feared that the citrus flavors would overpower the Mochi itself, but thankfully it's not the case. This is a little larger and thicker than the previous Mochi, but when you bite into it, it's a pure, soft (but dense) block of Mochi with a light, light hint of Tangerine.


On the fresh Manju side, Sakura-ya's Kuri Manju is a Baked Wheat Flour exterior stuffed with Shiroan (Sweetened White Bean filling).


While Kuri Manju is sometimes filled with Chestnut (in Japanese, "Kuri" = "Chestnut"), according to Mas Fujita, it's named as such due to its appearance being similar to roasted chestnuts. The Shiroan filling is just as lightly sweet as it was in the Pink Mochi, but now inside the Baked Wheat Flour shell, it adds a different dimension to the taste. So for those that enjoy silky-smooth textures, the Pink Mochi would be the way to go, or if you prefer a bread/pastry-like texture, then the Kuri Manju would be the choice.


The Inaka Manju is a perforated, Steamed Wheat Flour Sweet filled with Tsubuan (Sweetened, Non-strained, Whole Red Bean filling). This is essentially like a sweet Steamed Bun (Baozi), but lighter and thinner than the Chinese version. The rougher, rustic filling stands up to the steamed exterior really well, and makes for a different type of dessert.



For those that prefer the Azuki Bean filling to be smoother and more refined, Sakura-ya's Green Mochi / Yomogi is the way to go, with the same heavenly Pounded Sticky Rice mixed with chopped up bits of fresh Yomogi (Japanese Mugwort) with a Koshian (Sweetened Azuki Bean, Strained / Filtered) filling.


The bits of Yomogi leaf add a very subtle herbal, spring-like note, but it's nothing too distracting to the overall Sweet. The Koshian is a very refined, super-smooth distillation of their Azuki Beans, and unlike the Tsubuan (that has the husks and most of the Azuki Bean's original texture intact), here, it gets transformed into a very fine paste filling. Also, perhaps because there's less Bean (husk, etc.), it tastes quite a bit sweeter, with the sugar coming to the forefront.


Two newer offerings from Sakura-ya include the Maruyaki Manju Chocolate and the Maruyaki Manju Peanut. Both are Baked Wheat Flour exteriors with Tsubuan filling and either Chocolate Chips or Peanuts on top.


At first glance it may seem a bit gimmicky, but the chunkier, less sweet Azuki Bean filling pairs surprisingly well with the Chocolate and the baked exterior.


For a bit more of a fragrant, nuttier item, try the Kinako Mochi, which is their wonderful, soft Pounded Sticky Rice with Koshian (Smooth, Strained Azuki Bean filling), but instead of just a silky dusting of Katakuriko (Japanese Potato Starch) - nothing wrong with that :) - the Kinako Mochi is powdered with Kinako (Toasted Soybean Powder), which really lends a beautiful, toasty, nutty aroma that's understated.



Their White Manju (Steamed Wheat Flour Sweet with Koshian (Smooth, Strained Azuki Bean) filling) is probably their most underwhelming Sweet.


It's similar to their Inaka Manju, except instead of being perforated with holes and filled with the more rough and rustic Tsubuan filling, this is a Steamed Bun, like a traditional Chinese Baozi, with the smoother Koshian filling.


Finally, their Imo Manju is another of the traditional Japanese sweets made here that's named based on appearance rather than ingredients: "Imo" usually means "Potato" in Japanese, but here the Imo Manju doesn't contain any actual Potato, but is named because it's supposed to resemble a fresh baked Sweet Potato.


The Imo Manju has a golden-brown Baked Wheat Flour outer crust, with their Shiroan (Sweetened White Bean) filling, along with Cinnamon and Sesame Seeds. The result is a starchy consistency that is surprisingly like a mild Sweet Potato, but more fragrant with the Cinnamon accents and Sesame Seeds.


Service has been simple and straightforward during every visit I've had over the years: Simply pick out what Sweets you want (or ask if you have questions), and they'll wrap things up and ring up the total on the spot. :)

And of course, the price has always been really fair: Every Sweet on their regular rotation is $1, except the Kashiwa Mochi (Oak Leaf Mochi) which is $1.05. That's ridiculously fair for fresh, handmade Mochi that's made daily with the Fujita's family tradition.

Sakura-ya is one of the rare Sweets Shops in Southern California that still makes all their traditional Japanese Sweets daily, by hand. The Kashiya - the traditional Japanese Sweets Shop - is a rare and dying breed. While owners Mas Fujita and Yuki Fujita learned how to make Mochi and Manju from their parents, Sakura-ya will most likely be ending when the brothers retire. Mas has no children and brother Yuki has two children who have no interest in running the family business. Mas also mentions that demand for traditional Japanese Sweets has been on a steady decline over the recent years (not just due to the economy). He feels that the younger generation is no longer interested in handmade Japanese Sweets like this. :(

There was a note of sadness when this was related to me, and I can't help but silently weep for the loss of a beautiful skill and the delicious Japanese Sweets when the brothers retire. In the meantime, I know I'll be cherishing each fluffy, pillowy, dreamy handmade White Mochi, Pink Mochi and Kinako Mochi (amongst other things) each time I go to Sakura-ya, all the way until the last day it opens. This will be a great loss for So Cal when it closes.

Isolationist Sushi (or, Good Sushi For When You Don't Feel Like Having An Itamae) - Sushi Zo

Sushi is probably one of my all-time, favorite types of food. And after having "graduated" from Nobu / Matsuhisa to Sasabune, Nozawa and Shibucho, and then to Sushi Zo, Mori Sushi, Urasawa and Sushi Mizutani, I was surprised when I realized that I hadn't been back to Sushi Zo since my last Japan Trip in 2008. Before I left for Japan, Sushi Zo was easily one of my favorite Sushi restaurants in L.A., so it was with great anticipation that I returned to Sushi Zo to see how it compared to my last visit and my experiences in Japan.


Located on a low-key, mini-mall stretch of National Boulevard, Sushi Zo is the result of Chef-Owner Keizo Seki (formerly of Hide Sushi). The interior is a rather intimate space, with only a few sparse tables with the Sushi Bar being front-and-center when you enter.

On this visit (Wednesday), I enlisted one of my long-time Sushi Hounds to join me in this excursion. :) We were seated in front of Keizo-san, and when we tried to greet Keizo-san or make eye-contact, we noticed a palpable tension and uneasiness in the air. I knew of his gruffness and aloof attitude, but it was never as apparent as it was this evening (on my previous visit we ended up having a brief, fun conversation and his attitude had subsided (towards the end of the meal)). But it was about ~70% capacity at dinner time, and I decided it might be that he was too busy.

After the waitress took our drink order - we asked the waitress to have Keizo-san recommend a Sake for our fish tonight, which turned out to be Yukishibare Sake from Hokkaido, Japan - Chef Keizo briefly looked up after a few minutes and gruffly asked us if we had any fish that we didn't want (no greeting other than an angry facial expression). I spoke in Japanese to Keizo-san and greeted him, and at that point, he seemed to calm down a bit and returned a greeting to us. (The Yukishibare Sake was an excellent choice: Lightly sweet, with a sharp initial bite, ending with a very clean finish. Excellent.)


After that point, we sat back and watched Chef Keizo work. Keizo-san now has *2* assistants working with him at the Sushi Bar (versus the 1 assistant from my last visit), and even at only 70% capacity, we noticed he was furiously cutting and working away. He looked pensive and made eye contact with no one at the Sushi Bar and never looked around the restaurant, either.

Our first course arrived after about five minutes of waiting: Kumamoto Oyster. After having mixed results with Oysters in the month of May, I was pleasantly surprised by the stunningly fresh Kumamoto here. It was so sweet and exuded a clean, pure ocean breeze flavor. Excellent!


One more note on Chef Seki's attitude: Over the past year, I've encountered many wonderful itamae (Sushi Chefs) that I've been able to have good conversations with about the fish, where it's from, and interesting points about certain types of fish, etc., but at Zo, when I asked the waitress in Japanese about talking to Keizo-san about the fish, she looked *scared*, and then quietly told me that it would be really bad to talk to him about anything, and that he was too busy. (Hence why I don't have any of the origins listed like I normally do.)

As we finished the Kumamoto Oyster, our next course arrived almost immediately after, setting a tone for the rest of the evening: Maguro Sashimi (Tuna Sashimi). The Maguro was extremely tender and meaty, with a good structure (without being too soft). The dab of Wasabi with his Tare Sauce were the perfect complement.


The next course arrived at lightning speed after we just finished the Maguro: Uni Ika Somen (Sea Urchin Roe with Squid "Noodles"). The Uni was *so* sweet and fresh, and mixed with the thin strips of fresh Squid cut into noodle-like shapes to make a creamy, slippery, silky dish.


Our nigiri portion of the course began at this point, starting with: Hirame Sushi (Flounder). Seasoned with a touch of Sea Salt and Lemon, the Hirame itself was a nice cut, with no gristle / connective tissue (as expected), and a good freshness, but one shocking failure came shining through at this point: Gristly, mealy Sushi Rice.

While the fish / neta is usually the star and highlight of every piece of Sushi, the grains of Rice beneath each piece of fish is equally important in its own way. Perhaps I've just gotten spoiled with the legendary Sushi Mizutani and the amazing, custom-grown Rice at Mori Sushi, but the Sushi Rice for every single piece of Nigiri we had this evening exhibited the same disappointing qualities: Mealy, unappetizing Sushi Rice that undermined each piece of fish that we ate. It was really distracting. :( (This has never been a problem before, with Keizo-san's Rice being decent, but never this gristly.)


Next up was Aji (Horse Mackerel) served with Keizo-san's housemade Shoyu (Soy Sauce), a bit of Negi (Green Onions) and Yuzu Citrus Juice. This naturally oily fish was masterfully prepared with the Yuzu, Negi and Shoyu really minimizing any fishiness. The Ajji was meaty with an inherent (good) pungent quality. But it should be noted that the Rice once again distracted from the fish.



Continuing on, the Hotategai (Scallop) was another excellent preparation, beautifully tender and very fresh. It was very good, but fell short of the surprisingly bright purity of Chef Cimarusti's Scallop Sashimi I had at Providence, and Mori Sushi's Hotategai (which better exhibited the inherent meatiness without sacrificing tenderness - all thanks to Mori-san's great knifework).


Sushi Zo's Bincho Maguro (Albacore Tuna) was one of the biggest surprises of the evening: Normally it can be rather plain, but Keizo-san presents an absolutely *buttery*, shockingly delicious version of Bincho Maguro. Outstanding! :)


One of my favorite fish arrived next: Hamachi (Yellowtail). Like the Albacore that we just had, the Hamachi was extremely buttery and creamy and very fresh. It was much better than the Hamachi we were served on our last visit.


Toro (Fatty Tuna Belly) was the next to arrive.


I remember Sushi Zo's Ohtoro (Fattiest Portion of Tuna Belly) as being my favorite Ohtoro in L.A., but sadly, Keizo-san said he was out of both Ohtoro and Chutoro. While nowhere nearly as good as the Ohtoro from my last visit, the regular Toro was very tender and buttery. Unfortunately there was some gristle/connective tissue in each piece of my Toro (my guest also had a piece of gristle in each of their pieces).


Our next dish was a nice surprise, and a rarer fish around town: Ebodai (Pacific Pompano). Essentially a type of Butterfish, the Pompano had a gorgeous visual layering of its meat, and was surprisingly sweet and buttery despite of how lean it looked. The housemade Yuzu Sauce provided the final, perfect accent. It was excellent (except for the terrible Rice).



The Kanpachi (Greater Amberjack) was a disappointment. It was noticeably dull and flat-tasting, and the very potent and pungent Yuzu Kosho (spicy Yuzu Fruit and Pepper Paste) seemed more like an attempt to hide the lack of freshness than support the Kanpachi's inherent qualities. The Kanpachi from my last visit to Zo was much better, and Urasawa's Kanpachi was also far more enjoyable.


Thankfully, Chef Keizo bounced back with another rare dish: Hagatsuo (Skipjack Tuna). Normally, the Toro Nigiri would signal the end of the buttery fish and the itamae would move on to another facet of fish to celebrate for the evening, so I was curious as to why there were more buttery / fatty dishes after the regular Toro. Now I know why:

The Hagatsuo was insanely good! It was beyond buttery and creamy, and easily surpassed the regular Toro we had earlier (it was more like something inbetween Chutoro and Ohtoro)! There was just a touch of some finely grated Ginger and Green Onions to play off the silky, fatty qualities of the Hagatsuo to perfection. My favorite of the evening. :)



After that stunning success, the next dish continued that trend: Ankimo (Monkfish Liver). Served very warm(!) (they had just finished steaming it), it was like Foie Gras but even cleaner and purer: Tender chunks of Monkfish Liver. The Nori (Dried Seaweed) and Rice, however, fell short.


Continuing on, Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp) was another excellent dish with purity and freshness that only comes from a freshly dispatched Live Shrimp. Beyond the vibrancy of the Sweet Shrimpt was the great muscular texture and the preparation by Keizo-san: Highlighting the seductive silky qualities along with a great firm, yet supple, texture in each bite.


Keizo-san's Kinmedai (Alfonsino) was a bit flat, with a good toothsome quality to the meat and a nice chew, but tasting rather dull.

The Mirugai (Geoduck Clam) bounced back nicely, with a great pairing with Sea Salt, Yuzu Citrus Juice and Shiso Leaf. The Mirugai was very meaty and firm, but still gave way easily with each bite. While this was good, I felt the cut and preparation from Mori, Urasawa and Sushi Mizutani were ahead of this.


The Shima-Aji (Yellow Jack) was my guest's previous #2 favorite fish from our previous visit, so I was really looking forward to it again when Keizo-san presented it to us. It was lightly creamy and had a very clear and clean-tasting flesh, but didn't seem as vibrant as our last visit (again, the Rice didn't help at all).



The next dish was another rarity: Tara (Cod) just barely cooked through, served with a sweet Miso Ginger Mayo Sauce. The Tara was beautifully moist and tender (perfectly cooked), but the Miso Ginger Mayo Sauce overpowered the fish, lending an off-putting, cloyingly sweet quality to the whole dish.


It was also nice to try the Sumi Ika (Squid), which has a good creamy quality, with the meat disintegrating after each bite(!). I was expecting more chew, but the Sumi Ika actually broke down extremely fast.


Another previous favorite of mine at Sushi Zo was the Kurodai (Black Snapper), and generally this was a good cut of fish. There was a distinctive textural highlight here, with a good chew with each bite of this fish. The flavors were really well-balanced, not too oily, fatty nor lean.


The Madai (Red Snapper) was sauced with Keizo-san's housemade Shoyu, and tasted a bit too mellow and flat. It didn't taste overly fishy (old), but it lacked the brightness that you've come to expect at top Sushi restaurants.


The Meji Maguro (Young Tuna) was another favorite of mine from before, and I was hoping Keizo-san would have it in stock today, and thankfully he did. :) Served with his housemade Ponzu Sauce, the Meji Maguro was far more compelling than standard Maguro (Tuna) and the even, well-balanced Ponzu really helped to brighten up the Meji Maguro.


Next up was the Sake (Salmon), which proved to be really disappointing. It was overly sweet and a bit too mushy.


At this point, Keizo-san brought out a classic pairing of Uni (Sea Urchin Roe) and Ikura (Salmon Roe). It feels like I hardly run into good Ikura these days, but Keizo-san's Ikura was very vibrant and fresh, with little, lightly salty flavor explosions as I bit down onto each sphere.

The Uni was about ~85% pure. There was a noticeable briny aftertaste (bad), which was far worse than my previous visit to Zo. It could just be an off-night / bad timing, as Uni's shelf life is extremely short. It was good, but nowhere near the 99%+ of Urasawa or the perfect 100% Uni at Mizutani.


Next was Anago (Conger Eel), beautifully baked, clean-tasting and only lightly sweet from the homemade Tare Sauce.


Finishing up the regular course, Keizo-san ended with a Toro Roll (Fatty Tuna Belly Handroll). The regular Toro itself was nice and creamy, and thankfully without any of the gristle / connective tissue found in the regular Toro Sushi that Keizo-san served earlier. The Nori (Dried Seaweed) was decent, but nowhere near the sublime Nori from Saga, Japan used at Mori Sushi.


At this point, Keizo-san stopped his mad cutting, and asked us if we wanted anything else, as this was the end of the Omakase course. We requested one more round of the Ankimo and ended with his Tamagoyaki (Cooked Egg) to see how Keizo-san's skills were with this classic dish. The Tamagoyaki turned out to be extremely moist and light, with some nice layering.


And as is customary at Sushi Zo, when we asked for the check, our waitress brought out their signature Yuzu Drink, made with the gorgeous Yuzu Citrus Juice, lightly sweet, but never cloying and so full of the sense of Spring. While the Yuzu was precious, today's portion was very meager, with less than a normal shot of the delicious liquid (far less than our previous visit).


Service was really perfunctory and workmanlike: There were two waitresses covering the entire restaurant, so plates were haphazardly cleared, and drink requests were stalled a few times as we waited for one of the servers to make eye contact our way. With Keizo-san never making eye contact with us and just too busy to notice anything, that wasn't a route either (to have him get the attention of the servers to get more Sake or refills on Tea for us). In addition, one of the waitresses seemed to have adopted Keizo-san's gruff attitude, having a really poor attitude when we finally got her attention to ask for more Sake or refilles on Tea (she had an angry demeanor and made us feel like we were troubling her unnecessarily).

The Omakase course this evening (with the Sake) turned out to be $175 per person (including tax and tip), slightly more than our previous visits.

At this point in time, Sushi Zo has some significant problems depending on the type of Sushi experience you're looking for. They still serve a nice variety of fish, with some rarer offerings, but have failed in 2 key areas: The Sushi Rice and the Itamae (Sushi Chef)-Customer relationship. The Sushi Rice was so bad this evening, so mealy and gritty, that it distracted from every single piece of Sushi that we had (no hyperbole). :( There's simply no comparison with the rice from Mori Sushi, Urasawa and Sushi Mizutani.

Furthermore, the overall ambiance has become completely unwelcoming and uncomfortable. For example, the breakneck speed that Keizo-san was working at and presenting each piece of Sushi was really absurd, as we had almost no time to savor the current piece of Sushi before the next piece was put down in front of us. I didn't time it, but looking at the time-stamps for each of my photographs, we averaged *2 minutes* from the time a new piece of Sushi was put down to the time the next piece of Sushi came out. There were many times during the night that literally as either my guest or I had just barely put the current piece of Sushi in our mouths, Keizo-san was putting down the next piece. From the first piece to the final piece, we finished up the course in 59 minutes(!). Sushi Zo feels like a Sushi Factory at this point, with Keizo-san and his two assistants constantly prepping, cutting and serving dishes throughout the night, and rushing to shove the next piece of Sushi in front of the customer as if in the hopes to get them out the door as soon as possible.

To make matters worse - and maybe it's because I've met so many *nice* itamae over the past year or so - but Keizo-san's brooding, taciturn, borderline angry demeanor has really gotten worse over time. As a good Sushi Chef, how can you gauge how your customers - your patrons who keep you in business - are doing and what they enjoy or not, if you don't even make eye contact with them, and refuse to talk to them?

Now of course, not every Sushi Chef has to be "best friends" with every single customer that walks in, but to not have the decency to welcome in customers as they enter, nor when they sit down in front of you (he maintained the same gruff, silent attitude to all the other Sushi Bar customers that sat down that evening), is not something I look forward to for my Sushi experience anymore. We saw it with Nozawa and Sasabune, and after the warm, genial attitude by Mori-san, after having insightful and down-to-earth conversations with Urasawa-san, and really interesting discussions about different types of Fish and funny life stories with Mizutani-sensei (who many consider to make some of the best Sushi in Tokyo), Chef Keizo's isolationist, muted attitude is no longer worth it. I'd rather save my money and experience far more exceptional Sushi (and a far better dining experience) at Mori Sushi, Urasawa and Sushi Mizutani.
