Feature

Our dedication to offering a superlative dining experience has led us to source premium ingredients worldwide, including within the United States. Here's a glimpse of our sample selections:

Bluefin Tuna: Sourced from Spain.
King Salmon and Umi Masu: Procured from New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, and Scotland.
Kanpachi: Directly from Hawaii.
Hirame: Sourced from the coastal waters of Korea.
Japanese Varieties: We continue to feature essential, superior fish from Tokyo, Ishikawa, Hokkaido, and more.

Our commitment to responsible ingredient sourcing reflects our dedication to quality and safety. "Omakase" signifies "Trust the Chef" - a promise we uphold, ensuring excellence in every dish. Join us at Tancho for an exceptional dining experience. Thank you for your continued support.

NOTE: This menu is with added supplements on top of $125 base Omakase menu.

We require deposit for all reservations. The deposit will not be applied towards your bill but will be refunded after service is completed. The purpose is to help us compensate for last minute cancellation. As we know, omakase chefs have to source and prepare ingredients in advance, same day or last minute cancellation or no show badly impact omakase restaurant business.

Due to staff shortage, we are not able to answer phone calls.

Our restaurant currently has very limited seatings for dine in. Chef’s counter seats are often booked out on weekends. We highly recommend weekday reservation.

We offer about 10-15 bento take outs nightly until sold out. Pre-order is highly recommended.

Please note that we use a special brand of Akasu (red vinegar) to make our sushi rice (shari). We do not use brown rice.

Tancho Japanese Restaurant is located in Castro Valley, California. Our teams are alumni from some of the finest sushi restaurants in San Francisco Bay Area, in particular, we build our Omakase menu based on traditional edomae style. Our visiting guest chef also made much contribution to Tancho’s culinary concepts.
