About the restaurant

YA ABIERTOS!
Ichikani (un cangrejo en japonés) es la marca nueva de Grupo Costeño y un concepto innovador que maneja una cocina japonesa con toques asiáticos y hand rolls presentados de manera diferente, usando la más alta calidad de ingredientes en un ambiente más relajado, casual, cozy y divertido!

Ofrece una experiencia "pop" y más extrovertida que sus antecesores más glamorosos como lo son Hotaru y Ryoshi. Con una selección de bebidas, sakes y un ambiente acogedor, es el lugar ideal para disfrutar de una comida casual y agradable.

Asai Kaiseki is the real deal. Commanded by the meticulous Itamae Asai, this isn’t some slapdash sushi joint slathering rolls in cream cheese and eel sauce. This is precision. This is heritage. This is one of the top three Japanese restaurants in the city, if not the best. The sushi? Impeccable. They’ve switched to koshihikari rice for their shari, and it makes all the difference, each nigiri elevated, clean, perfectly seasoned. But what truly sets Asai apart is the way it weaves Mexico into its Japanese foundation, not as a gimmick, but with finesse. Take the nopal (cacti) nigiri, for instance—a dish that embodies respect for both traditions without veering into fusion for fusion’s sake. But if you really want to understand what Asai Kaiseki is about, go for the kaiseki experience. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey. Course after course, unfolding like a perfectly timed symphony—seasonal, balanced, and deeply rooted in Japanese culinary philosophy. Omakase is also an option here, and it’s equally worth surrendering yourself to the chef’s expertise. This is where you come for real Japanese cuisine in Mexico City. No shortcuts, no theatrics—just craftsmanship, discipline, and a deep respect for the food.
