Our History
Kabuto (兜, 冑) is a type of shogun helmet first used by ancient Japanese warriors. It became an important part of the traditional Japanese armour worn by the samurai class and their retainers in feudal Japan.
Kabuto first opened its doors in 1982 in the heart of San Francisco’s Richmond District. Our talented chefs are masters at creating traditional Japanese dishes using high-quality ingredients.
