Sumo Star

Founded 2017

Overview

Sumo Star is our version of a Japanese “Izakaya.” Izakayas are chef-driven restaurants in Japan, or as they are referred to as Japanese “Pubs”, that offer constantly evolving options for food based on market availability and chef’s inspiration, all while having a personality and feel all to its own. These Izakayas are a unique and vital cornerstone of Japanese food culture, are uninhibited and welcoming.
