Where to eat a traditional Japanese breakfast in Los Angeles

I love morning foods of all kinds, and I worked through college scrambling eggs and cranking out waffles at a bed-and-breakfast in Boston. These days, though, after work meals out most nights, I rarely wake up wanting more than a few spoonfuls of yogurt or a handful of peanuts. When hunger does call early in the day, I’ve lately been finding my way to Azay, a small Japanese-French restaurant in Little Tokyo that opened a few months ago.
