Located in the lower level of a converted townhouse, first time guests and critics alike agree, Japone is a "must see." It's where art, intimacy and great dining unite for the perfect dining experience. Japone, one of the District of Columbia's best known and well respected Japanese restaurants, is located in central Washington, D.C., just a short and beautiful five-minute walk from the red-line DuPont Circle Metro Station. First opened in 1986 by owner Kenji Akiho, a much respect Art Dealer from New York, Japone's bold colors and arctic design encourages intimacy; but can also serve as the perfect place for a small gathering or private party. Japone's menu is a fusion of Japanese - French cuisine, and Sushi. We look forward to your next visit to Japone. We promise it won't be your last.
