Discover the authentic tastes of Japan at Itadaku, a hidden gem in Jumeirah 1, Dubai. Named after the Japanese word ‘itadakimasu’, which expresses gratitude for the food and those who contributed to its creation, Itadaku invites diners to experience Japanese cuisine in its purest form.
At Itadaku, Japanese food lovers are treated to a diverse menu that showcases the best of Japanese culinary traditions. The restaurant imports fresh ingredients from Japan four times a week, ensuring top-notch quality and authenticity in every dish. The ambience is a blend of classic Japanese aesthetics, with bonsai trees, calligraphy artwork, and bar-style seating that offers a view of Japanese Chef Masaru Sakagami at work.
