Japanese gastropub with fusion dishes & creative shochu cocktails
"After a week of saying that you just want to keep this year's birthday casual, only to retract that statement day-of, head to Itsumono. This Japanese gastropub in the International District works great for a last-minute group hang where you might share pork katsu swimming in tikka masala curry, caesar salad topped with garlic whip, and loco moco-inspired scotch eggs. Make sure rounds of sparkling sake jelly shots hit the table—they're tasty enough to knock back by the multiple, but have a pretty low ABV." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"At Itsumono, you'll find a relaxed space that has everything from Iron Chef to New Girl playing on TV. You'll also find a short menu of mash-ups like tonkatsu tikka masala, loco moco scotch eggs, cheesy dungeness crab arancini doria, and miso soup risotto, as well as a $100 tasting menu option if you reserve a table at least 24 hours in advance. Use this place for an initial meeting alongside drinks and tots, and if things go well, order more food. If things go extremely well, invite us to your wedding." - aimee rizzo
"This Japanese gastropub works great for a boisterous last-minute group hang or Happy Hour. You can share things like yuzu cauliflower karaage, nicely seasoned nori tots, or mac salad. Order sparkling sake jelly shots for the table—they are tasty enough to want more than one, but have a low ABV so you’ll still wake up the next morning in one piece. And if you’re lucky, the bartender may even pull out a dinosaur dentist toy from your childhood and make a drinking game out of it." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

"There’s always a bowl of leaves on the menu at Itsumono, and it's always worth ordering, whether you get simple mixed greens with radish and toasty sesame or a shaved napa cabbage caesar with grated parm, a vinegar-forward dressing, and a fluffy garlic whip. More whipped cream on top of vegetables, please." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
