KAMEHACHI ↗
Kamehachi, meaning “eight turtles” in Japanese—a symbol of long life and good luck—has been perfecting the art of sushi for more than 40 years. Originally founded in Chicago’s Old Town, Kamehachi became known as Chicago’s first sushi restaurant and has built a reputation for high-quality ingredients, meticulous preparation, and authentic Japanese cuisine.
ITOKO ↗
Located in Chicago’s Southport Corridor, Itoko is a neighborhood Japanese and robata restaurant from Gene Kato, Executive Chef of Momotaro. Meaning “cousin” in Japanese, Itoko reflects its connection to Momotaro while offering its own distinct take on Japanese dining, with fresh sushi, robata-grilled selections, temaki hand rolls, sweet delicacies, and more.
ROKA AKOR ↗
Located in Chicago’s River North, Roka Akor is modern in approach and Japanese in spirit, with a contemporary, chef-driven menu centered around its signature robata grill. Known for its polished sushi program, thoughtful preparation, and warm, energetic atmosphere, Roka Akor brings a distinctive take on modern Japanese dining to Chicago.
