We Can Cater Your Events

As a popular Japanese restaurant, we're afraid that our diners only know our restaurant for just that. They come in, they eat, and they leave. It has become so much of a routine that they don't understand that anyone can eat our food anywhere. We would even come to you if you want.


Yes, we do cater! And, the most unfortunate part is that we love to cater. We would love for more of our customers to acknowledge and take advantage of this.

We can cater just about anything. Take a pick from this list:
  • Business Lunches
  • Special Events
  • Weddings
  • Birthdays
  • Picnics
Do we really need to go on? Just know that we can do just about anything you want. After all, we are in business for our customers. And because we love our customers more than anything, we are willing to do anything to make you happy.

So, call us next time you need food. We'd love to be the delicious solution.

Sushi Smelling Smoke Detector?

Scientists in Japan have created a smoke detector that warns deaf people by omitting the smell of wasabi.


Boffins from Shiga University of Medical Science say they needed to come up with a way of waking deaf people if they were asleep during a fire.

The problem was that 50 percent of fire victims in Japan are elderly and often have poor hearing. This means ringing alarms usually do not wake them up.

Professor Makoto Imai's design uses a faux version of wasabi which is sprayed into the air.

This is said to wake most sleeping people within two and a half minutes.

The cravings for sushi moments later is just a positive side effect. :)

Speaking Japanese at Ichiban

Do you speak Japanese? Do you come to our restaurant in order to enjoy our Japanese ambiance and relish in the culture?



We understand that our restaurant may very well be your escape to everything Japanese, and we realize and understand the importance of the occasion.

Not only do we continue to welcome our Asian guests back as often as humanly possible, but we would like to lend our hands out to all Japanese speakers that feel the need to communicate in the language inside our restaurant.

Here's the deal: If you order your food in complete Japanese dialect from now until March 1st, we will offer you 10% off your meals for the month.

So, if you are of Japanese heritage, or understand the language at all, this is your time to take advantage of our willingness to communicate with you.

Let's make Downtown Orlando more Japanese in the month of February.

What is Edamame?



 Everyone loves it. It is, by far, the most requested appetizer at Japanese restaurants. You order edamame, receive it, and devour it in minutes. But have you ever wondered where those green bean-esque things come from?

Well, edamame is actually more identifiable than you might think. The term "edamame" only represents the preparation of the food. In actuality, the beans are your typical soybeans. These particular beans are most commonly found in Asia and Hawaii.

The preparation is also relatively simple. The pods are boiled in water and salt and served hot with an extra layer of fresh salt on top. This provides the salty deliciousness that customers enjoy when dining.

Next time you're in our store, be sure to order our scrumptious edamame. It has become a staple at our restaurant.
