Calabasas Sushi Dining, from the First Pour to Dessert

For Calabasas guests who want a composed Japanese dinner beyond the neighborhood, Mizumi Sushi waits east in Encino. The experience can travel from delicate seafood to warm plates, sake or wine and a final sweet course—all at 17047 Ventura Boulevard.

Encino dining room reached from Calabasas by US-101

Follow the 101 East for a Different Kind of Dinner

US-101 links Calabasas with Encino in a direct eastbound line. Once near the restaurant, the route returns to Ventura Boulevard; use the live map below to account for current traffic and select the most practical exit.

Mizumi is intended to feel like the purpose of the drive, not an incidental stop. Arrive ready to settle in, compare flavors and let service establish the spacing between drinks, shared plates and individual courses.

Let the Glass Change the Bite

Sake and wine give the menu another dimension. A clean, restrained pour can sharpen the impression of seafood, while a richer selection can meet a warm or savory dish with enough character to remain present.

The goal is not a rigid pairing formula. Choose by preference, move between styles or ask the team what is currently available. A thoughtful glass can reset the palate and make the next course feel newly defined.

Contrasting sushi and Japanese dinner courses served at Mizumi

Build Contrast Across the Table

A complete meal does not need to stay in one category. Place cool sashimi beside a hot kitchen preparation, follow a delicate piece with a fuller-flavored roll or introduce an entrée between visits to the sushi menu.

That movement creates energy without hurrying the table. Beverages can bridge the transitions, and dessert provides a clear ending. Calabasas diners can shape the night as a sequence rather than ordering everything to arrive at once.

Why Calabasas Guests Plan a Full Dinner

  • A direct Valley approach: US-101 carries the trip east from Calabasas before the final Ventura Boulevard approach.
  • Sake and wine at the table: Add a pour that complements personal taste and changes how each course is perceived.
  • Contrast by design: Move among cool seafood, cooked plates, rolls, entrées and dessert instead of staying in one lane.
  • Time reserved in advance: Select a dinner slot before departure so the evening already has a destination and pace.
