As the sword is to the Samurai, the knife is to the sushi chef. In the traditional Samurai spirit, the sushi chef is dedicated to self-discipline and possesses great knowledge and skill.

Itamae-san (as we say in Japan) is the name we give to the sushi master.

Modern style sushi can be dated back to the 18th century to the region of Japan that we currently call Tokyo. Fish that were caught were sliced thinly and placed on seasoned rice. Since that time the delectable treat has continued to increase in popularity. Today sushi is enjoyed at over 5000 restaurants in the United States.

The best of traditional and fusion Japanese cuisine can be experienced at Sushi Ichi Restaurant.  Ichiro Yamagishi, owner and master sushi chef, has assembled an exciting menu that encourages customers to satisfy sushi cravings, and enjoy delicious expertly prepared Japanese cuisine.
