Hatanaka is a sushi and Japanese cuisine restaurant, which opened its doors in April of 2019.

While we strive to make our restaurant successful, we also see our work as a way to share the values and ideas we truly believe in.

Our guiding principle is to create a sustainable cycle in which everyone involved — diners, producers, the people who work here, and the planet — can be happy over the long term.

From January 2026, Hatanaka transitioned to a lunch-only restaurant.
After the owner, Hatanaka, gave birth, she stepped away from day-to-day operations in order to balance childcare and work. While this was a choice she could make as an owner, many restaurant staff do not have the same flexibility once they have children. With this in mind, we decided to shift to daytime operations so that staff with children, as well as women chefs who may have given up working in restaurants due to childbirth, can continue their careers without having to leave the industry.

We hope to be a place where guests can enjoy delicious sushi at a relaxed pace during the day, have a drink if they wish, and spend a truly good afternoon.
