Koryouri Urara occupies a 22-seat dining room on Wisconsin Ave NW in Georgetown. Chef Urara Iwasaki, who grew up in Yokosuka helping her parents run their restaurant, built the menu around Japanese homestyle cooking rather than strict sushi tradition, opening each seating with a signature egg-dashi custard.
The dinner omakase runs 8 to 10 courses for $138 per person, with seasonal ingredients shaping the lineup from night to night. A sake pairing is offered alongside the tasting menu, and a separate wine pairing draws from small European and Japanese producers. The restaurant also lists a longer sushi-focused tasting and an à la carte menu of rolls, small plates, and sake for guests who prefer a walk-in visit without reserving ahead.
The room is small and counter-oriented, so seating is limited on any given night. Reservations for the omakase are handled through Resy. The restaurant keeps evening-only hours, open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:00 to 10:00 PM, and closed Sunday and Monday. An English-language menu is available, which simplifies ordering for visitors unfamiliar with Japanese course names.
For those who want a lower-commitment option, the à la carte and patio seating accept walk-ins, giving a way to sample the kitchen's style before booking the full tasting menu on a future visit.
