Miso glazed sea bass; broiled enoki mushrooms, ohotashi and tons of other great eats. Do you know of a similar place in Japan Town? If not there, how about in Los Angeles?

It's about $115 per person, but worth it. Fri Jan 27 02:40:16 -0800 2006 429437 0 JL 1 430066 Below is the link to Perceptor's report on Kappo Ishito. For a less formal dining experience, Izakaya Haru Ulala has some of the dishes you mentioned like the broiled enoki, shimeji (Oyster), and shiitake mushrooms, goma ae, broiled black cod in sake kasu. It is a more casual pub like atsmosphere. It's like a Japanese tapas bar. It's more like Honda-ya than Kappo Hondo.
