Harvester's Table at YESS: A Delicious Step Towards Transforming LA's Seafood Supply Chain

LOBSTER KATSU SANDO
ANCHOVY & CAVIAR FISH & CHIPS 
BLACK COD TEMAKI… 

An 8-course seafood-centric tasting menu by Chef Junya Yamasaki– the Zen Buddhist chef transforming LA’s seafood supply chain— featuring catches from three E-Fish harvesters. 

To that we say: YESS. 

Just last year, beloved Chef Junya Yamasaki opened YESS, what LA Times food critic Bill Addison called “the most quietly ambitious cooking to emerge in Los Angeles this year.”

It’s a gift to the Arts District and the city of LA, built on the core philosophies of Japanese cooking and Zen Buddhism, which Chef Junya had studied living in a monastery in Japan. It’s not only exceptionally delicious but also a restaurant that is actively transforming LA’s seafood supply chain (as seen in Forbes). 

Chef Junya Yamasaki and Jeff Tedmori, the co-founder of E-Fish, originally connected over their mutual admiration for marine life and dedication to sustainability, which brings us here— a dinner the two of them dreamed up in celebration of ocean stewardship and the art of preparing seafood in a responsible and delicious way.

YESS is renowned Chef Junya Yamasaki's progressive Japanese restaurant offering approachable, izakaya-style a la carte menu highlighting Southern California's locally sourced seafood and produce. Inspired by traditional Japanese cuisine, the menu features classic yet creative dishes inspired by the surrounding nature.

Prepared from scratch daily, the menu continues to showcase Chef Junya's commitment to using limited, local, catch-specific ingredients, reflecting the natural world's whims and eccentricities, recognized by the New York Times and Esquire as one of LA's most exciting recent openings. YESS offers an intimate dining experience with a wide range of reasonably priced, casual Japanese tapas-style dishes.

E-FISH

E-Fish is similarly driven to bring chefs and diners the best of the sea(son). Sustainability is a journey, but it begins with one bite. The smaller impact makes the greater impact.
