I personally think something with Jo in it sounds cool. Jo means castle in Japanese. Something like Honjo or Senjo. Let me think during lunch. I will be in SJ on Monday for biz. Too bad its not open now bc I expect a free dinner if you take my name. 🙂

Thanks... of course I'd be very appreciative of your effort. I will send you an invitation regardless if you would come up with a name, for your effort. 😉

I've been to Japan, does that count?

EDIT: Where have you been? Most of the Japanese restaurants are owned by Chinese.

 

Midoris was the name of a resteraunt here locally. The owner named it after his daughter.

I'm chinese, have been to japan, and I took a year woth of japanese credit in college. my GF is half-japanese also. I am from San Jose and one of the more popular japanese resturants that I know up there is "MIYAKE" .....I think thats what it was called..


Anyways, if it was my resturant, I would name it with a "fish" theme. Not necessarily have to be of a japanese word.
Here are some names:

"SALTWATER" - Conjures up images of sea life (fish, shrimp, crab, etc)

"MIAKO" - I just happen to like this name, plus i know someone with this name

"TAIKO" - a very famous japanese restaurant here in Irvine. I'm sure you can use it though, b'c its not a chain restuarant

"MISHIMA" - another very nice/fast japanese restuaramt in Beverly Hills

or perhaps you can name it after japanese based movies: RASHOMAN, SAMURAI (sorta corny), etc.....

but since its a beninhana type resturant, you would probably want a name that is very festive:

Well, I would expect a free meal if you use those names..hope it helps..enjoy!

The easiest way is probably to give it a girls name like others have suggested.

Something like Nami, Shiori, Kaori or even my little sister's name Haruyo 😉 (No pics!)

Pink Tuna...ok maybe that wouldnt fly so well 😀

 

[Dragnov]

itadakimasu!

 

[kage69]

I'd call it Aka, Atsui to Oishii

or, if it's going to be an upscale establishment, Shibumi


Gochizosamadashita!

Serious answer: how about "Shiso"? Sounds exotic yet it's short, unique, and easy to say. Plus it is an herb commonly used in sushi/sashimi dishes and tempura so it fits the theme of the restaurant.

Goofy answer: "Miso Horny" 😉

Thank Celebrity Jeopardy for that one.

For a Japanese Sushi & Steak House (sorta like Bennihanna). I was thinking of either Kobe or Shogun. If you have a better idea, please let me hear it... thanks. This is to be opened up in San Jose 😀.

EDIT: Serious please.

kobe is already a major chain

another thing, are you catering primarily to locals or do you expect a lot of Japanese tourists?

Just the trendy yuppy crowd of San Jose, and any body that wants to eat there. I know that Kobe is already taken, but try to tell that to my uncle.
