Using local and seasonal ingredients is the most important element in Japanese cuisine. It also has become the primary principle for the international culinary community. With commitment to that philosophy, Tamura features sustainable seasonal ingredients of the Pacific Northwest in authentic Japanese preparation.

Tamura is a Kappo style restaurant where food is prepared in an open kitchen and served quickly in a lively environment where staff and guests talk about the food and beyond. Our goal is to become the very best restaurant to our guests by getting to know them and serving them in a personable yet professional manner.

My Wife and I had a great time at Sushi Kappo Tamura; Edward (our waiter) was very attentive and personable, our five-course dinner was superb, and of course the sushi will definitely bring us back again!

We have been going to Sushi Kappa Tamura ever since they opened. We used to sit at the sushi bar and order the sushi that Taichi suggested and we loved being there, chatting with Taichi and eating fabulous sushi. This is our ideal sushi experience. You can no longer do that. Taichi is seldom there and when you sit at the sushi bar you must eat the set meal that they serve. It's very good but it's not the same vibe. This time we sat at a table and ordered the most interesting a la carte sushi and the fabulous matsutake tea they serve this time of year. Both the food and the service was fabulous. We will eat this way at Sushi Kappa Tamura again.

Had date night at Kappo Tamura. Food was delicious. We asked to get surprised by the chef for the Sashimi and it did not disappoint. Out favorite was the black cod belly. Fish was fresh and tender and super flavorful. I would definitely recommend their fall sake flight!
