A Japanese kaiseki concept Inn Ann at Japan House Los Angeles.

Inn Ann (on the fifth floor of Japan House) translates to “hidden retreat,” and this innovative restaurant aims to be an experience that fosters discovery and curiosity, showcasing Japanese culture, traditions, and rich heritage through the lens of its cuisine.

The restaurant features a rotating lineup of Japanese chefs including a mix of highly accomplished talent and rising star chefs, with the aim of introducing diners to Japanese culinary techniques, ingredients, and sensibilities. The opening concept of the tasting menu is overseen by Chef Taro Araki, Executive Chef for the Consul-General of Japan in Los Angeles, allowing patrons in its opening months to dine like foreign dignitaries and experience Japan with all five senses.

The opening menu is a traditional, seasonal kaiseki with a deliberate focus on California ingredients and produce, under the guidance of celebrated Chef Taro Araki. The set omakase menus are available in two options including a vegetarian version, and stays true to the traditional kaiseki approach with a multitude of courses of meticulously crafted and artistically plated dishes emphasizing seasonal ingredients. 

The design of the restaurant is in line with the greater Japan House Los Angeles aesthetic. The result is a sleek and comfortable 35-seat restaurant with an intimate sushi bar and unparalleled views of the city. Dishes are served on Japanese porcelain Arita-Yaki plates and dishwear to further enhance the experience and immerse guests in Japanese culture.
