Our culinary team, led by award-winning sushi chef Shingo Shin Aihara, prepares over 30 authentic Japanese appetizers using the freshest ingredients, including rare seafood varieties typically found only in Japan. With two locations serving the Las Vegas Valley for over five decades, we remain family-owned and operated by the second generation of the Nakanishi family.Our commitment to quality extends to offering the most extensive selection of fresh fish in the region, including exotic varieties like aoyagi and Blue Fin Toro. We take pride in our 20-time recognition as 'Best of Las Vegas' by the Las Vegas Review Journal, reflecting our dedication to culinary excellence. Our diverse menus cater to all tastes, featuring complete sushi offerings, teppanyaki specialties, lunch options, and late-night dining. We continue to innovate while maintaining traditional Japanese culinary techniques, ensuring an authentic dining experience for both connoisseurs and newcomers. Our longevity and accolades attest to our unwavering commitment to quality, service, and authentic Japanese hospitality.
