    Morihiro centers its Japanese cooking on chef Morihiro Onodera's attention to rice, ingredients and the vessels used to serve them. His official biography traces that approach to his family's farm in Japan, where making food from scratch was part of daily life. At the restaurant, Japanese rice is milled on site, and Onodera's handmade ceramics are part of the presentation. The kitchen describes its omakase as bringing together produce and fish from California and Japan.

    For a visit, use the current address: 1115 W. Sunset Boulevard, Suite 100, Los Angeles. The suite number matters when setting a destination or sharing directions with other diners. An older Glendale Boulevard address should not guide a trip to this restaurant.
