Yakun (Sawtelle Japantown)

Ambitious upcoming opening, in the former Mizu 212 space (corner of Sawtelle and La Grange). Rumor on the street: Thinking it’ll be serving very high end, reservation-only washoku, squarely gunning for Michelin attention. Celebrated chef recruited from Kyoto. Very eager to see it open soon.

(And no, it’s not related to Ya Kun, the famed Singaporean kaya toast slinger, which by the way we also need here on Sawtelle lolol…)

But that’s a cheap Toto without the bidet functions! Or are those the controls on the wall above the paper?
