Tuesday, August 27, 2024 Established in the early 20th century, Yamashiro Hollywood has been a beacon of California’s cultural heritage, marking its 114th anniversary this year. Recognized by the State of California’s Historic Resources Inventory, it is celebrated for its unique Japanese Revival or East Asian Eclectic architectural style, making it a noteworthy Criterion C site on the United States National Register of Historic Places. The preservation of its authentic Japanese artifacts is meticulously managed by Boulevard Hospitality Group under the leadership of BHG CEO Freddy Braidy, who plays a pivotal role in maintaining the site’s historical integrity.
“Yamashiro was built upon the framework of preserving a synergistic connection to the ancient past,” said Braidy . “We are celebrating 114 years of Yamashiro Hollywood this year during a significant period in our nation’s history. Our philosophy is ingrained into California’s roots as a place that symbolizes cultural fusion that connects this moment to centuries of tradition.
” This autumn, Yamashiro Hollywood is set to introduce an anniversary Fall menu that pays tribute to its storied legacy. The menu creation is led by Sushi Chef Shandhi De Costa, runner-up at the 2023 World Sushi Cup in Japan, and Executive Chef Jae Hee Lee, who adheres to the philosophy of “ichi-go, ichi-e,” signifying that each meal is a chance to highlight the enduring traditions rooted in this iconic location. The celebratory menu will showcase dishes such as ‘Red Mole Hirame,’ Salmon Skewers, and Tuna Carpaccio.
Official announcements about the Fall menu and a community-focused cultural celebration at Yamashiro Hollywood, a historic cornerstone for over a century, will be forthcoming later in the year..
