医食同源 (Ishoku Dōgen)

医食同源 (Ishoku Dōgen)

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
— Hippocrates

In Japan, the philosophy of Ishoku Dōgen (医食同源) teaches that wholesome food and good health are deeply connected. A balanced diet nourishes the body, supports overall well-being, and helps prevent illness. Food is not only a source of enjoyment—it is an essential part of living a healthy life.

At UNSUI Japanese Restaurant, this philosophy inspires everything we prepare. We use an abundance of fresh vegetables and thoughtfully selected ingredients, cooking each dish with the same care and attention we would for our own family.
If we wouldn't proudly serve it to those we love, we won't serve it to our guests.

Our menu features authentic Japanese home-style cooking alongside traditional sushi, each prepared with respect for Japanese culinary traditions and enhanced with Unsui's own creative touch. These are the kinds of meals enjoyed by families throughout Japan every day—simple, balanced, nourishing, and full of flavor.

Whether you're discovering Japanese cuisine for the first time or seeking the comforting flavors of home, we warmly welcome guests of all ages to experience authentic Japanese hospitality and cuisine.

Nourish your body. Delight your palate. Experience the spirit of Japan.

It was our first time eating here and we were absolutely blown away. I ordered the chicken katsu curry and the flavor was unbelievable with tender chicken. The curry is made in house. Husband had the octopus balls, which he said were tender, a dragon roll, and chicken yaki soba and he loved every bite. We will definitely be visiting and recommending to friends.

It's funny, I ordered the Katsudon as well since that was also my favorite when I was living in Japan. It did not disappoint. My husband told me the sukiyaki beef bowl was good as well, although I didn't get to taste it before he inhaled it. Looking forward to trying out more of their dishes. I see they have ramen now, and Tonkotsu Ramen is another one of my favorites.

Long have i wanted the taste of japan without having to cook for half a day. The Pork Katsudon brought me back to my days walking around Machida in the winter finding refuge in a restaurant and a piping hot pork cutlet. I will be back to sample everything. Thank you for bring real Japanese food that isn't just sushi.
