SHOTO Washington DC

This 140-seat boutique Japanese restaurant reimagines the informal izakaya tradition with a contemporary, assured voice. The kitchen honors traditional technique, concentrating on shareable plates and refined flavors rather than overt theatricality. The dining room, designed by Noriyoshi Muramatsu of Studio, frames service and food within a calm aesthetic that balances material warmth with precise geometry.
