japanese izakaya / sake/ seasonal cocktails

izanami restaraunt

izanami is an upscale japanese izakaya serving small plates meant to share. Expect elegant food & drink in a casual atmosphere.  

Food is creatively prepared locally-sourced meat and produce with an emphasis on seasonality. Most of our beef is either from Morgan Ranch in Nebraska or A5 from Miyazaki, Japan. The quality of our fish rivals what you might find in Japan.

Drinks include the best selection of premium Japanese sake in North America, an amazing cocktail menu, a wide variety of zero proof libations, an extensive menu of Japanese Whisky, craft beer from Japan, plus green and non-caffeinated teas from shizuoka.

Seating options include booths, tables, a sake/cocktail bar, tatami floor seating, a year-round outdoor pavilion, and a deck with amazing views across the valley.
