I have had it at few other places I really did like it at R23. So chowhounds can you recommend a where I might try for so yummy YT collar?? Thanks in advance Donald Thu May 22 22:34:13 -0700 2008 13509 santamonica 1 3713918 Last place I for sure ordered it was Honda-ya in DTLA, but really any izakaya should have hamachi/yellowtail collar.

Much better than what I tried at Hide Sushi, among the dozen or so places that I've tried it.

Fri May 23 07:38:57 -0700 2008 3713895 166707 JEN10 1 3714501 They are called Hama Kama in Japanese. It is actually a common dish in a lot of Izakaya places. You can actually buy it yourself in Japanese Supermarkets like Mitsuwa (caution: they may not always have it), and broil it at home, a little miso paste, mirin, and ponzu, and you are on your way to a delicious meal. I recommend a couple of places: Tama Sushi (try calling first) 11920 Ventura Blvd Studio City, CA 91604 (818) 760-4585 Izakaya Haru Ulala 368 E. 2nd St. Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213)-620-0977 Fri May 23 07:54:11 -0700 2008 3713895 161349 jotfoodie 1 3715450 I'd been meaning to try this for a while, having seen it at various izakayas. We finally tried it at Redondo Beach Sushi at the RB Pier. It was fantastic and the highlight of the meal (if anyone does go here, skip the sushi/sashimi despite the name and go for the cooked seafood). We have since purchased it at Marukai and made it at home on the grill and it was fabulous and about a third of the price. You need to salt it a bit ahead of time and let it rest, and then cook it for longer than you'd think for fish. But, boy was it good.

Takao, also in Brentwood (not to be confused with Taiko, across the street in the retail center with CPK & Daily Grill). Fri May 23 12:34:38 -0700 2008 3713895 14828 Ali B 1 3716198 Many places have Salmon Collar / Kama as well as Yellowtail Collar / Hamachi Kama: Honda Ya Shin Sen Gumi Sushi Gen Sushi Go 555 Izayoi Fri May 23 16:45:56 -0700 2008 3713895 10883 JAB 1 3716219 Azami Sushi on Melrose has Yellowtail collar that is perfection. Fri May 23 16:56:12 -0700 2008 3713895 14838 Dave and Stuff 1 3716892 yabu, furaibo and hide sushi all have it. sometimes, if you ask at japanese restaurants, they might have it even if it's not on the menu. i believe place yuu has it as well.
