Come December, Chef Hiroyuki “Zama” Tanaka, will open his new authentic Japanese restaurant, Zama, right in Rittenhouse Square. Zama will serve “innovative, visually stunning sushi alongside exquisitely prepared Japanese dishes” accompanied by a “diverse selection of cocktails, beer and wine in a chic, gracious atmosphere.”

For those of you unfamiliar with Tanaka, he’s responsible for overseeing kitchens at Philly restaurants like POD and Morimoto. The menu will include a wide array of special sushi rolls, soups, salads, and entrees, with items ranging in price from $5 to $28.

Check out some of the menu after the jump!

Zama plans to serve dinner seven days a week, from 5PM to 11PM, with lunch service planned for the future. Looking forward to the opening!
