# Shibumi

A Japanese kappo restaurant in Los Angeles, where chef David Schlosser served multi-course menus at a centuries-old cypress counter; it held one star in the MICHELIN Guide California 2025 and closed on July 19, 2025.

**Shibumi** was a Japanese kappo restaurant in Los Angeles that held one star in the [MICHELIN Guide California 2025](/en/works/michelin-guide-california-2025.html).[^michelin-profile][^stars2025]

Chef David Schlosser's kitchen was organised around a counter made from a centuries-old cypress slab, with sixteen seats running along it; in the kappo manner he revived Japanese techniques of the 17th and 18th centuries, giving traditional dishes and ingredients a contemporary reading. The multi-course menu changed with the seasons and was rebuilt roughly every three months, and each dish was served at the table with an explanation.[^michelin-profile][^michelin-omakase]

Michelin's inspectors considered it one of the most pleasurable places to learn about kappo-style cuisine: the service was warm and attentive, and the chef explained every dish. An à la carte menu was offered as well, but the multi-course kappo progression remained the best way to experience this kitchen.[^michelin-profile]

The restaurant opened in 2015 and was among the first Los Angeles venues to popularise kappo cooking. Less than two weeks after the 2025 California guide was published, the chef announced that the restaurant would close on July 19, 2025.[^eater-closures][^stars2025]
