When you think of a Japanese restaurant in Covina, your mind might jump straight to sushi. And while we love our fresh sashimi and specialty rolls, there is a whole other world of warm, savory, and deeply satisfying dishes known as "washoku," or Japanese comfort food.
If you're looking for the best Japanese comfort food in Covina, you've come to the right place. Let's explore the dishes that bring warmth and a taste of home to our neighborhood.
What is Japanese Comfort Food?
It's the food that nourishes the soul. It's the rich, steaming broth of a perfect bowl of ramen, the sweet and savory glaze on grilled teriyaki, and the simple perfection of a warm onigiri. These are the flavors that Japanese families have enjoyed for generations, and we are proud to share them with you.
From the Kitchen: "True Japanese cuisine is about harmony. For us, that means balancing the high-end artistry of sushi with the warm, familiar flavors of comfort food."
