Kimuraya

Kimuraya (木村屋.J) is an authentic Japanese izakaya that opened its first Tel Aviv branch at Maze Street 3 on November 1, 2025. It belongs to the acclaimed Kimura-ya chain, which operates around 200 outlets across Japan, and brings that heritage to Israel with a menu designed by a Japanese chef and interiors by designer Mayuka Kojima.

The menu ranges across classic and modern Japanese dishes: wagyu shabu shabu, yakitori, sukiyaki, ramen, sushi and sashimi, with carpaccios (salmon, seabream, tuna) dressed in sesame oil and ponzu. The drinks list features premium sakes, shochu and Japanese whiskies. A new Friday and Saturday lunch service launched on 17 April 2026, and the restaurant runs unlimited shabu-shabu menus for groups.

For the Asian community in Israel — and especially Japanese expats — this is a rare chance to sit in a genuine chain izakaya without leaving Tel Aviv. The warm, detail-driven atmosphere and wide sake selection make it a strong choice for a proper Japanese night out.
