Sushi-Ten USA opens Sushi Blissba in Cypress

Sushi Blissba, the newest concept from SUSHI-TEN USA, has opened in Cypress. The group also operates Sushi Nigiriba in Culver City and Huntington Beach, and it created this latest restaurant with the Cypress community in mind.

The name pairs “bliss,” or great happiness, with “ba,” the Japanese word for place. It reflects the idea of koufuku (口福), which combines the characters for “mouth” and “happiness” to capture the joy of a delicious meal.

Led by Corporate Chef Masaya Minyu, the restaurant offers an a la carte menu and coursed dining experiences. Traditional Japanese dishes sit alongside creative plates that blend Eastern and Western ingredients. Highlights include a sashimi boat, tamagoyaki (a traditional rolled egg dish) and anago, saltwater conger eel torched tableside. The menu also features nigiri, rolls, gunkan, grilled skewers and fish, cold appetizers such as edamame, and desserts such as matcha mochi monaka.

Coursed experiences range from $32 to $58 at lunch and $46 to $128 at dinner. The $82 signature dinner includes an appetizer trio, miso soup, edamame, a choice of nigiri, black cod miso, steamed egg, a temari ball-shaped hand roll, conger eel and a choice of dessert. Drinks include sake, beer, wine, chu-hi, green tea and soft drinks.

The clean, modern space is designed for everyday meals and special occasions alike. It seats 118 guests across the dining room, a 10-seat sushi bar and a spacious outdoor patio. Curved architectural details, wood accents, arched openings and vertical paneling create a welcoming feel, while pops of red and decorative lighting add character.

Sushi Blissba is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Lunch is served 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays.Sushi Blissba opens in Cypress

Sushi Blissba is located at 5253 Katella Ave., Suite 120 in Cypress. 

Diamonds by Day at South Coast Plaza

Jessica McCormack, the London-based jewelry house known for its vintage-meets-modern aesthetic, has opened its first West Coast boutique at South Coast Plaza. The 1,600-square-foot space brings the brand’s signature style to Costa Mesa with antique furniture, contemporary art and collected treasures.

McCormack designs diamond jewelry for the modern woman, creating heirlooms meant for future generations. The boutique reflects the relaxed elegance of the brand’s London shops, with a curated mix of art, antiques and objets alongside the full jewelry collection. The setting invites clients to explore the pieces in a space that feels both refined and intimate.

As with every Jessica McCormack store, the interior takes its cues from the brand’s original Victorian flagship in Mayfair, London. Look for a Porthmeor piece by British artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham. The hand-printed Mauny wallpaper draws on 18th- and 19th-century historical revivals, and the fabrics are by Pierre Frey and Lee Jofa.

The boutique showcases McCormack’s signature Day Diamonds, from exclusive one-of-a-kind pieces to new collections. McCormack, the brand’s founder, said wearability has always been central to her designs, which are meant for everyday wear rather than special occasions. She said Californians instinctively dress that way, with an effortless quality she has long admired, which makes the region the ideal home for Day Diamonds.

The South Coast Plaza boutique is the brand’s fourth standalone location, joining the London flagship, a second London store and the New York City flagship. The brand also has a space at Harrods in London.
