The beloved Richmond restaurant Manzo Itamae has announced that it will be closing its doors after an impressive 18 years of operation.

The restaurant is best known for the traditional Japanese dishes it’s been serving since 2008. Think sashimi, nigiri, aburi sushi, tempura, and more.
However, the restaurant did share that this is not the end, and that a “new chapter is coming soon.” Details on what’s next for the team have yet to be shared. This is a similar situation to Vancouver’s Bistro Sakana, which also announced its closure ahead of a rebrand.
“Thank you for being part of our journey. We are truly grateful for your love and support,” concluded the restaurant.
