The whole of a meal is as important as the sum of its parts. n/naka is a California experience of the Japanese heart.
Like its chefs, n/naka is Los Angeles-born witha deep respect for its Japanese heritage and California roots.
Created from an intensely personal perspective, Chefs Niki Nakayama and Carole Iida-Nakayama pay homage to Japanese traditions while imagining new boundaries that reflect their California upbringing.
With sincere reverence for Japan, California, and the kaiseki philosophy, n/naka showcases the best ingredients, craftsmanship, and artistry from both worlds, celebrating nature in its time and place.
