The Mikado To provide you with the best sashimi and sushi, we have fresh fish flown weekly from Tsukiji, Japan (the world's largest fish market), California, Nova Scotia, and the B.C. Coast.We have genuine Robata grills specially imported from Japan.
Mikado holds the title of Alberta’s first Japanese restaurant! It opened in 1972, on 116th Street, in a location that has since been repurposed as a tattoo parlor. They now have three locations in Edmonton. They have always had fresh fish flown weekly from Tsukiji, Japan (the world's largest fish market), California, Nova Scotia, and the B.C. Coast. Because, hey, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it!
Sake aficionados will appreciate the kikizake, a sake sampler featuring three one-ounce servings of different sakes for only $9. Guests can choose three of any of the premium cold sakes to try: Gokugo (a fruity sake), Yoshinogawa (full bodied and tropical), Ginjo (dry and smooth), Nigori (sweet and complex) and Hana sake in Fuji apple or lychee (contemporary and fresh). For hot sake, they offer Masukagami (crisp and clean) and premium and regular Sho-chikubai.
They serve a signature caesar with a twist - a sake twist, that is. The sake caesar is made with sake and soy sauce, topped with Japanese pickles, and the glass is rimmed with shichimi spices. Or, you can order a classic caesar here, too, without shame.
