Our Story

Traditional Techniques, Modern Vision

Founded in 2010 by Master Chef Takashi Murakami, our restaurant brings the authentic flavors of Japan to Los Angeles with a contemporary twist. After training for over 15 years in Tokyo's most prestigious kitchens, Chef Murakami's vision was to create a dining experience that honors traditional Japanese culinary arts while embracing California's fresh, local ingredients.

Each dish at Murakami is a celebration of seasonal ingredients, meticulous preparation, and artistic presentation. We source the finest seafood directly from Japan's Tsukiji market and local California coastlines, ensuring peak freshness and flavor in every bite.

"We celebrated our anniversary at Murakami and it was the perfect choice. The A5 Wagyu Ishiyaki was a showstopper - watching it cook at the table was entertaining and the flavor was incredible. The staff made our evening truly special with thoughtful touches."

"As someone who lived in Tokyo for years, I'm extremely picky about Japanese food. Murakami is one of the few places in LA that truly captures authentic flavors while adding creative California touches. Their sake selection is outstanding and perfectly complements the menu."
