Chico, California · Since 1986
Dine beneath
the blossoms.
Forty years of hand-crafted sushi in Chico, under a cherry tree in permanent bloom.
Our Story
Four decades of Chico’s celebrations.
Since 1986 we’ve served generations of Chico families — birthdays, anniversaries, first dates and last nights before term starts. Children who once came here with their parents now bring children of their own.
Locally owned and family operated. Kou and Nalee are here every day, alongside a team who have been with us for years, because hospitality is personal and we’d rather know you.

The Room
A tree in the middle of dinner.
A full-size cherry blossom tree stands in the middle of the dining floor, beside a hand-painted sumi-e mural of Mount Fuji. It isn’t real — real blossom lasts a week, and this has been in flower for years. It is, reliably, the first thing anyone photographs.
