About SHŌTŌ Washington DC

SHŌTŌ Washington DC is the latest concept from globally renowned restaurateur and venture capitalist Arjun Waney (ZUMA, ROKA, COYA, La Petite Maison [LPM] & The Arts Club).

In the heart of the Nation's Capital, SHŌTŌ offers a contemporary and sophisticated twist
on the Japanese izakaya style of informal dining while respecting traditional techniques and commitment to culture.

The 140-seat boutique Japanese restaurant is designed by world-renowned interior designer Noriyoshi Muramatsu of Studio Glitt in Tokyo and features a bar-lounge area, wine, sake, and whisky cellars, an open kitchen with a robata grill and sushi counter seating, private dining rooms, and an intimate landscaped outdoor terrace.

Showcasing the unique flavors of modern Japanese-influenced cuisine, the menu will
feature a variety of shared plates, including snacks, sushi, tempura as well as skewers,
meats, fish, poultry, and seafood options from the robata grill. The high-energy bar and lounge at SHŌTŌ will offer bespoke hand-crafted specialty cocktails and an extensive selection of Japanese Sake, Shochu, and rare hard-to-find Whisky.
