Youji's #WashokuRenaissance

Charlestown, MA · Japanese · $$$

Two decades ago, award-winning Chef Youji Iwakura brought to Boston a renaissance of authentic Japanese cuisine called Washoku. In 2018, his Washoku Renaissance formed the concept behind his restaurant Kamakura, the first to introduce modern kaiseki cuisine to the area. During the pandemic, he opened Washoku Renaissance, a ghost kitchen for upscale curbside takeout with his signature Sashimi Chirashi Sushi and Poke Jewel Boxes, which he continues to serve today.

Tokyo Downtown Sushi Supper Club (with $20/30 deposit) - reservations open two weeks to a month before the start of the month. Tuesdays, Wednesdays at 6:30pm and 8pm, Thursdays at 7pm. (From March, Thursdays are prepaid, Omakase Sushi Club Premium) "Kaiseki" Hybrid Authentic Sushi Dinner is available on Fridays! "Omakase" style Youji's Whimsical Sushi Dinner is available on Saturdays instead of Signature Kaiseki*! (*Kamakura Signature Kaiseki Dinner Saturday will be paused until Boston demands it.) In March, Saturdays will be Omakase Sushi Kaiseki! Since many guests expect for special occasion, we come up with a special plating for the fruit bite. We don't prepare cakes because the flavors don't follow well after Japanese food tasting. The food hall features a bar where you can order your drinks. It will be a separate service and transaction. But we are happy to assist the choice of the beverages with your dinner. Washokology, theme driven washoku pop-up happens occasionally. Follow the instagram @youjijs For occasional WR Premium TakeHome (TM) boxes, please follow our Instagram @youjijs and @washoku_renaissance to stay updated!
