Hidden along an industrial alley in the Arts District, 715's discreet doorway opens into an exclusive 8-seat Japanese counter bathed in warm incandescent light.

Chef Raymond Matsuno brings Osaka street memories and elite sushi training: dry-aged bluefin tuna, sea urchin risotto with dashi foam, and binchotan-seared Wagyu.

Playful, intimate, and friendly; Matsuno converses freely with diners, pairing courses with boutique Japanese sakes and craft beers.

715 brought intimate Osaka counter warmth into the industrial fabric of the DTLA Arts District.
