katana A modern interpretation of Japanese tradition
I
n a glamorous setting boasting an elevated terrace overlooking the famous Sunset strip, Katana offers a diverse, imaginative menu which combines Japanese tradition with modernity. Opened in 2002 by the Innovative Dining Group, the restaurant has become a landmark of West Hollywood.
Inspired by the ancestral culinary techniques from the Japanese village of Wakayama, Katana’s cuisine incorporates open-flame cooking with Binchō-tan, a high-quality white charcoal, which infuses meat, seafood and vegetable robata skewers with rich smokiness. Japanese A5 wagyu beef, lobster, king crab and Chilean sea bass: the chefs only work with the most flavorful ingredients. The signature rolls, sashimi and nigiri are scrupulously prepared with freshly-caught fish for a memorable sensory experience. Katana’s menu also features an extensive collection of sake and wines, and exotic cocktails such as the Heat of the dragon — tequila, cointreau, lime, kumquat, serrano, agave — and a ginger lychee mojito. Treat yourself to an exquisite, fancy robatayaki and sushi bar experience in one of Los Angeles’ hot spots.
