izanami at
ten thousand waves

Izanami is an izakaya serving upscale japanese bar food. Small plates meant for sharing and creatively prepared locally-sourced meat and produce with an emphasis on seasonality, all accompanied by unique libations. Most of our beef is wagyu. It's possibly the most delicious meat you will ever eat.

We have the best selection of artisanal microbrew cold sake found anywhere in North America, an amazing cocktail menu featuring Japanese spirits, an extensive menu of Japanese Whisky, craft beer from Japan, green teas from shizuoka, and a wide variety of non-caffeinated and zero proof libations.

Our meat and produce are sourced from purveyors we know and trust. Fresh ingredients are emphasized in all of our preparations. We make everything in-house: desserts, ice cream, hamburger buns, and every condiment on your plate. Many of our items are gluten-free and vegetarian/vegan, and our soy and tamari are non-GMO.

Booths, table seating, a sake/cocktail bar, tatami floor seating, a cozy outdoor pavilion open year-round, and a deck with the best views of any restaurant in Santa Fe offer our guests elegant food and drink in a wide variety of casual dining atmospheres. (Spa guests sometimes arrive in their bathhouse garb.)
