History

Established in 2003.

Shimogamo was founded by a Japanese couple, Sanae and Yoshio, with a passion for introducing authentic Japanese cuisine to the community. When they moved to Arizona 30 years ago, they noticed a lack of Japanese food options. They saw an opportunity to share their love of Japanese cuisine and decided to open their own restaurant. They wanted to provide a truly authentic flavors, and carefully created dishes to ensure it. They used traditional cooking techniques to create the flavors they desired. As word spread about the restaurant, it quickly became a popular desitionation for locals and visitors. People appreciated the authenticity and quality of the food, as well as the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by them. Today, our restaurant continues to honor the founder's vision. After 20 years since establishment, now under the new management, Sanae's daughter Mika and her husband Daisuke, Shimogamo remains to be a local favorite for authentic Japanese food and sushi in Chandler.
