Experience Authentic Japanese Cuisine at Mikuni
Founded in 1985 by the Arai family, Mikuni has become a cornerstone of Japanese culinary excellence in Northern California. Our journey began with Reverend Koki Arai and his family, who brought generations of sushi-making tradition from Japan to America. Over 35 years, we've pioneered innovative dining experiences like the world's first traveling sushi bus and interactive Sushiology classes. Recognized with multiple awards for Best Japanese and Sushi Restaurant since 1998, we've cultivated a loyal community through our Koki Club loyalty program with over 80,000 active members.Our commitment to quality extends beyond dining, with $3.8 million raised for local causes and 126 organizations supported. With 10 locations across California, we continue to blend traditional techniques with modern hospitality while maintaining our founding philosophy of 'Japanese Tradition. American Innovation.'
