Tamashi opening a new location on Albuquerque West Side

Tamashi has already established itself as a beloved destination for authentic Japanese cuisine in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights. Now, with the enthusiasm shared by General Manager Zakkary Tush, it’s clear that the opening of their new location on the West Side is not just an expansion—it's a celebration of culture, flavor, and community.

Nestled at 2102 Vista Oesta NW, close to Unser and Ladera, Tamashi's newest addition promises to be a beacon for both sushi lovers and enthusiasts of Japanese cuisine. This strategic move to the West Side represents Tamashi’s ongoing commitment to sharing the depth and breadth of Japanese culinary traditions with a wider audience.

Tamashi is revered for its exceptional sushi and sashimi, a tradition that the West Side location proudly upholds. Beyond these delicacies, the menu expands to include a rich variety of cooked dishes. From heartwarming ramen and eclectic bento boxes to golden tempuras, there’s a dish to satisfy every palate, making every meal an exploration of flavors.

In collaboration with the locally-owned New Mexico Tea Company, Tamashi introduces a hot tea menu that is as thoughtful as it is extensive. Store Manager Danni Brown emphasizes their ability to pair these teas with any dish, offering a harmonious dining experience that delicately balances taste and aroma.

What truly distinguishes Tamashi’s West Side location is its charming patio space. This dog-friendly haven allows guests to enjoy their dining experience outdoors, a rarity among sushi establishments. Accompanied by a full-service bar featuring drinks crafted from premium Japanese whiskey and gin, it's an ideal setting for relaxation and socialization.

Operating seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Tamashi warmly welcomes everyone to discover the richness of Japanese cuisine. This dedication to accessibility and community engagement is at the heart of Tamashi’s philosophy, ensuring that every visit is memorable.
