Description:
HATSU is an independent Japanese restaurant bringing sushi, sashimi, ramen and robata-grilled dishes to Low Petergate. Its menu draws inspiration from the busy streets of Tokyo and the quieter elegance of Kyoto, balancing traditional techniques with modern presentation. Fresh seafood, rice imported from Japan and sauces prepared in-house come together in a calm, stylish setting just moments from York Minster.

​

Make a Day of It:
Begin at York Minster, wander through Treasurer’s House and follow Low Petergate towards the medieval centre. Stop at HATSU for sushi, ramen and something smoky from the robata grill, then continue through King’s Square and The Shambles. A slow walk afterwards is sensible, particularly if ordering one more plate seemed like an excellent idea at the time.

​

The Tidy Take:
HATSU brings a polished taste of Japan to one of York’s most historic streets. The sushi is precise, the ramen is comforting and the robata grill supplies the smoke and drama. Order for the table, share everything and quietly keep track of which plate you liked best so nobody else gets the final piece.
