Why We Like It

This gem of a spot on Wisconsin avenue is where chef Urara Iwasaki and her team create constantly changing tasting menus, featuring seasonal Japanese homestyle dishes. What to expect? Refined technique and a bit of nostalgia, best seen in dishes like the chawanmushi and shabu shabu with truffle and parmesan.

About Koryouri Urara

Washington, D.C. – A new culinary destination has arrived in Georgetown. Koryouri Urara is an intimate Japanese restaurant from Chef Urara Iwasaki, offering a refined multi-course tasting menu rooted in tradition, hospitality, and a deep personal connection with Japanese home cooking. Drawing inspiration from koryouri-ya—cozy, often women-run eateries in Japan known for their warm, home-style meals—Koryouri Urara invites guests into an experience that feels more like a dinner party than a night out. The menu evolves frequently, guided by seasonal availability and the chef’s creative vision, rather than a fixed rotation. Chef Urara’s cooking blends the nostalgic comfort of Japanese family recipes with meticulous technique, developed through years of working in kitchens across Japan and Washington, D.C.
