Itosugi Kappo Cuisine sits on West Broadway in Kitsilano, offering a counter-only format where sushi and kappo dishes are prepared in front of diners. The menu is built around multi-course service, with each dish demonstrating a specific technique rather than a fixed repertoire.
The kitchen draws on Pacific Northwest ingredients, applying Edomae sushi and kappo methods to seasonal seafood and produce sourced in North America rather than relying solely on imported Japanese ingredients. This terroir-driven approach shapes the menu from one season to the next.
Service runs both lunch and dinner on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, plus Monday, with lunch typically from 12:15 to around 2:15 or 2:30pm and dinner from 6:00 to 10:15pm. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays and Fridays. Reservations are handled by phone rather than online booking.
Itosugi sits in the Luxury price tier, consistent with a counter-seated, multi-course sushi and kappo format. Exact pricing per seating is not published and should be confirmed directly with the restaurant when booking.
