About the Business

EE NAMI Tonkatsu Izakaya combines two Japanese elements: "tonkatsu," which means "pork cutlet," and "izakaya," which is a common restaurant style that serves tapas with alcoholic drinks.

Ee nami (pronounced "eh-nah-me") means "good wave" in Kansai-ben, the dialect of Japanese that is spoken by Osaka natives.

The tonkatsu of EE NAMI mirrors the style of Tonkatsu Tsurukame, a renowned restaurant located in the suburbs of Osaka, Japan. Tonkatsu Tsurukame has been operated by the Tano family for over 30 years.

Turning dreams into reality, Jumon permanently moved to San Diego in 2019 and opened EE NAMI alongside chef Teru Yanoshita in 2020.

Jumon has always envisioned that his restaurant would create an atmosphere for locals to enjoy time after time. EE NAMI is honored that you will be a part of our community as we continue to grow.

Established in 2020.
