Since opening Isana in October 2012, we are grateful to be celebrating our 13th year.
I sincerely thank all of you for your continued support.
I began my culinary journey at the age of 19 and have spent over 30 years working in Japanese restaurants and sushi bars both in Japan and abroad.
During my ten years of training in London, I experienced the joy of introducing Japan’s proud sushi culture overseas. At the same time, due to differences in available ingredients, I sometimes struggled to fully express the flavors and the world of sushi that I envisioned.
To embody sushi—a cuisine that is at its core beautifully simple—the quality of the ingredients is essential.
Using Japan’s rich, seasonal ingredients, I wanted to share the true charm of Edomae sushi not only with guests in Japan but also with visitors from around the world. It was this desire that led me to return to Japan and open Isana.
Although located in Nishi-Azabu, an area crowded with high-end sushi restaurants, we aim to be a restaurant where even those unaccustomed to counter-style omakase sushi, as well as international guests, can enjoy sushi in a relaxed atmosphere.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing experience where you can simply enjoy delicious sushi, without being bound by formality or etiquette.
Although our space is small, with only eight seats at the counter, customers from diverse countries and cultures gather every day, naturally sparking conversation and exchanging smiles. This peaceful, international atmosphere is one of Sasakouzono's unique charms. We hope that the time spent over sushi will become a place where people can connect with each other, transcending language and nationality.
Please relax and enjoy each sushi sushi that reflects the bounty of the seasons and a relaxing time. We cherish the spirit of once-in-a-lifetime encounters and sincerely look forward to meeting you at our counter.
