$$$$ • Sushi • Sur de Nashville
A refined, immersive dining experience in the heart of Wedgewood Houston, Momotaro Nashville showcases exceptional sushi, robata-grilled dishes, and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. Chef Partner Gene Kato brings his Japanese heritage into a modern context, delivering bold, nuanced flavors that honor tradition. Near The Truth music venue, Momotaro is an ideal destination for dinner before or after a show.Originally opened in Chicago over a decade ago, Momotaro’s design is rooted in Japanese mid-century modernism and “salaryman” culture, expressed through rich wood paneling, detailed millwork, and a signature stock exchange-style menu board. In Nashville, this foundation evolves through Japanese Americana, reinterpreting classic American style through a distinctly Japanese perspective. The concept of otaku, an obsessive devotion to craft, comes to life through the rhythmic repetition of tile and wood, creating visual texture and intentional separation between spaces.
