Wakamono is a casual Japanese eatery in Chicago, founded by Kai Togami, a man whose remarkable journey began as an orphan after a tsunami struck his fishing village in Okinawa in 1978. His life experiences, shaped by courage and determination, inspire the restaurant's menu, which reflects his adventures across the high seas and distant corners of the world.
Alongside his wife, Miyuki, Togami continues to embrace his passions for photography, writing, and sailing while running Wakamono. The eatery serves handcrafted sushi and cocktails, inviting guests to savor the flavors of Japan in a relaxed setting.
