Kinkan Nigiri Bento
Omakase at home.
A little escape, one beautiful bite at a time. Boston bluefin tuna, dry-aged for two weeks, meets silky Tasmanian umi masu, delicate kinmedai, Japanese hamachi and unagi, sweet shrimp from Hyogo, and Hokkaido snow crab and scallop, finished with bright pearls of ikura.
Each piece is lovingly prepared over our aged-vinegar sushi rice, bringing a taste of Kinkan’s chef’s counter to your own table. Add Hokkaido uni for an extra moment of indulgence.
Take your time. Savor every bite.
10 pieces · $60 | 11 pieces with uni · $75
Reusable Kyoto wooden gift box · +$25
Meet Maki Bento — Our Maki Jewel Box
Once you open this maki box, the fragrance of our premium roasted nori from Japan lets you know you’re in for something special—one of the best maki experiences you’ll have. Our futomaki combines Japanese unagi, prawn, house-made tamagoyaki, simmered shiitake and kanpyō, cucumber, and takuan. Dashi-rich egg, delicately seasoned vegetables, and pickles bring sweetness, umami, and crunch, with each filling chosen to complement the others.
Our hosomaki—slender rolls—each offer something different. Maguro Zuke highlights our dry-aged tuna’s deeper umami, gently marinated in soy. Toro Taku pairs fatty tuna with crunchy pickled daikon, while Umi Masu combines Tasmanian trout and sesame. Kani Mayo Soy Roll adds crab with lightly spicy Kewpie mayo in soft soy paper.
Five rolls balancing cooked and raw seafood, delicate flavors, and comforting richness. A little maki jewel box to enjoy one bite at a time.
Also available without shellfish, with Japanese hamachi replacing the shrimp and crab.
An Idea for Your Next Party…
For one of her birthday parties, Chef Nan had an idea: let every guest create their own chirashi bento.
She sent everyone a simple form to choose their favorite seafood, then prepared a personalized box for each guest. A little extra preparation, but everyone got a meal made just for them.
Bring the same idea to your next gathering with our DIY Bento Boxes. Download the form from our website, let your guests choose their favorites, and we’ll prepare each box for your party.
KINKAN SAKE CLUB
A highly curated monthly selection of sake that is difficult to access and not available in retail.
Many of these bottles come from small, highly regarded sake makers producing in limited quantities. Distribution is selective, and access is built through long-term relationships and trust with the breweries.
These are bottles made to be served with good food, and we choose each one with the table in mind.
Each release includes a full-size bottle, tasting notes, pairing ideas, and access to special selections chosen for Kinkan members.
Join the list for early access when membership opens.
Our Japanese Egg Sando is here
For many people in Japan, egg sando is tied to memory — soft shokupan, creamy egg, and Japanese mayonnaise.
For visitors, it can become one of those little tastes of Japan you never forget.
At Kinkan Market, we wanted to bring that experience here using the best ingredients we can find:
Local shokupan. Rich Jidori eggs. Kewpie mayonnaise. A touch of Japanese curry and mustard.
Meet Chef Nan
Chef Nan Yimcharoen is the founder and chef behind Kinkan Market. Originally from Bangkok, Thailand, Chef Nan moved to Los Angeles over a decade ago. During the pandemic, her handcrafted bento boxes became an underground sensation, earning a devoted following among food lovers, artists, and Hollywood creatives.
In 2021, she opened Kinkan, her acclaimed Thai-Japanese kaiseki restaurant, built with her own savings and an inheritance from her grandmother. As both chef and owner, she created a restaurant recognized by Los Angeles Magazine and The Infatuation as one of Los Angeles' best new restaurants.
Chef Nan's passion for hospitality began in her family's dinner cruise business in Thailand, where she learned from her grandmother, who once cooked for the Thai royal family. She later trained under respected Japanese chefs, developing a deep appreciation for Japanese craftsmanship, seasonal ingredients, and the beauty of thoughtful simplicity.
Today, Kinkan Market is the next chapter in that journey. Inspired by Japan's fish markets and everyday food culture, Chef Nan brings exceptional seafood, handcrafted bento, and carefully selected Japanese pantry items to Hermosa Beach—making high-quality Japanese takeaway part of everyday life.
