Itamae Sushi traces back to a 2007 Tokyo debut and now runs ten locations there; its Seoul branch opened inside Gwanghwamun D-Tower in February 2025, serving a lunch-special nigiri set alongside honmaguro (bluefin tuna) and a full dinner course. ChopChop University tested the buzz after a Hyundai department-store pop-up billed it as one of Tokyo's 'big three' sushi names.
