About Jizakana

Jizakana translates to “local fish,” reflecting its commitment to featuring the best seafood available from different regions across Japan. This concept dates back to the Edo period when local fishermen would present their finest catches to feudal lords as offerings. Today, Jizakana brings that tradition to the urban landscape, ensuring that diners experience top-quality seafood prepared by skilled chefs.
