We are taking reservations for fully customizable, truly memorable OMAKASE course dinner.
The family behind Shimogamo moved to Arizona in 1994 from Japan, and they immediately noticed that their neighborhood lacked restaurants where they were able to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. In 2003, Sanae and Yoshio Otomo finally determined to open a restaurant in Chandler to serve their native food, with as much respect as possible to the authenticity and quality of the culinary culture of their home country.
We are excited to announce that we are now open for full-service dining. We will still have our takeout available as well. Reservation is highly recommended as seating is extremely limited.
book a tableThe exceptional quality of our sushi is attributed to a combination of fresh ingredients and preparation techniques. We pride ourselves on using the finest quality of local and seasonal fresh seafood, which arrives from local purveyors as well as the fish market in Japan.
The name Wagyu means 'Japanese cattle'. The Japanese have devoted extraordinary care and attention to the rearing of this unusual breed of cattle, focusing solely on the quality. These animals are given the best food to eat, are massaged to relieve stress and muscle stiffness. The result is the most tender, most succulent and tastiest meat in the world.
Top quality sushi, I believe best in the valley. Interesting and unique special fish, dishes, and Japanese beers. Service was super friendly and helpful to describe the special fish options.
Best sunomono salad I have ever had. Nice clean restaurant, great service and everything we had was delicious. Yet another great random find from Yelp!
I have had japanese food in so many states abroad etc. This is the best fish I have ever had. From their ngiri to their cod to their beef tongue, there is just nothing I dnt reccomend on the menu. If you sit at their bar, their chefs are so friendly to hang out and talk to as well.
Some of the best sushi in Chandler, and let's be honest...probably in the entire Valley! Very cozy restaurant, located in the corner of a strip mall...but don't let this discourage you from coming in...
Went there last night after a one year plus absence due to the pandemic. It was fantastic and just as we remember. We made a reservation for next Friday.
