Notice of Summer Vacation.
The restaurant will be closed for summer vacation from Sep 9th to 16th,
and we can't reply to emails during that period.
We will reopen from Sep 17th.
Here at Sushiiwa, we think that Japanese food is based on the cycle of the four seasons. Therefore, we strive to use seasonal ingredients in our sushi and other cuisines. We think that it is especially important for our customers to be able to taste the season, and provide dishes that serve to accentuate the flavor of natural ingredients. Although we are very aware of the new tastes of Japanese food today, we value and maintain its traditional roots in our cooking.
For the chef's recommended course, the price for lunch starts at 10,000 yen per person. We can prepare both lunch and dinner courses, so please let us know. For the evening course, you can choose from 20,000 yen, 25,000 yen, 30,000 yen, and 50,000 yen. (In addition to the listed price, a service charge of 5% + consumption tax of 10% is required.) For vegetarian guests, we offer a vegetable kaiseki menu consisting of the chef's recommended vegetable-only dish and vegetable sushi for 12,000 yen per person. If there are any ingredients that you do not like or are allergic to, please do not hesitate to let us know. We will do our best to accommodate you. We also offer low-sodium and low-oil dishes, as well as gluten-free soy sauce, so please do not hesitate to ask.
You can order from either our à la carte menu or our Chef’s Recommended Course Menu.
Our course menus are:
Course A: Appetizer, Sashimi, Soup, Sushi & Desert

Even for a short time please enjoy the coolness that we have to offer . We will introduce you the best of‘Sushiiwa ’world.

Sushiiwa opened about 50 years ago as a sushi restaurant 500 meters west of where we are now. In those days, most sushi restaurants in Kyoto only did deliveries, and many restaurants did not have counter seats. However, Iwao Ohnishi, the first owner and chef of Sushiiwa, opened a sushi restaurant with counter seats, a revolution for its time. Today, following our founder’s philosophy, we aim to be a pioneer of sushi restaurants and continue to revolutionize and reinvent the way people think about sushi.
