A Kamehachi icon for good reason. 🍤🥢

Our Rock Shrimp Tempura arrives crisp and golden, coated in a sweet and spicy glaze and served over frisée with citrus dressing. Bright, savory, and nearly impossible not to share. Nearly.

Friday night calls for something crispy. 🍆🔥

Our Eggplant Fries are tempura-fried until light and crisp, dusted with togarashi salt, and served with garlic shiso mayo for dipping. The kind of late-night otsumami that disappears from the table faster than you planned.

A little something to look forward to this weekend.

Our Chicken-Fried Hamachi Collar is on the KAMEHACHI LATE NIGHT menu, featuring buttermilk hot sauce brine, house-pickled carrot and daikon slaw, and a Fresno dipping sauce that's made for one more bite.

Pair it with a handcrafted cocktail or artisanal sake while DJ Van Paugam (Saturdays only) sets the vibe.

The dish that's been stealing the spotlight for decades.

Our Rock Shrimp Tempura pairs perfectly crisp shrimp with a sweet and spicy glaze, served over fresh frisée tossed in a bright citrus dressing.

Some dishes become favorites. This one becomes a tradition.

The perfect sushi pairing might not be what you expect.

Matsurika Japanese-style pilsner is crisp, floral, and refreshing, making it an easy sidekick to everything from maki rolls to sashimi. Light enough to let every bite shine, flavorful enough to earn a second sip.

Join us for lunch, Happy Hour, or dinner and discover your new favorite pairing. Kanpai! 🍺🍣

Your plans for this Friday & Saturday night: KAMEHACHI LATE NIGHT: Sake, Vibes & Bites from 10:30 pm - 1:30 am!

Start with the bright, citrusy Hamachi Crudo, share a basket of crispy Eggplant Fries, and don't skip the Rock Shrimp Mini Rolls to feed those post-shift hanger pains.

Pair it all with a curated selection of artisanal sake or your favorite late-night cocktail while DJ Van Paugam sets the vibe.

See you after dark. Kanpai. 🍶

Like its name, Sakura Fubuki ("Cherry Blossom Blizzard") is delicate, elegant, and beautifully balanced. 🌸

With soft floral aromas, gentle fruit notes, and a crisp, clean finish, it pairs effortlessly with sushi and sashimi.

Whether you're discovering sake for the first time or already have a favorite bottle, Sakura Fubuki is one worth sharing. Kanpai!
