About Us.

Trained in Japan and rooted in Lewes - we’re inspired by the energy of Tokyo’s izakayas and bringing Japanese flavours to your table, one small plate at a time.

Welcome to Haru Izakaya - a Japanese restaurant rooted in tradition and fuelled by flavour. Trained by sushi masters across Japan and China, our head chef brings decades of craft to every plate, blending time-honoured techniques with street-style energy.

From smokey yakitori skewers, fresh, vibrant sushi, crispy tempura and rich yakisoba - our menu celebrates casual Japanese dining at its best.

We're more than a restaurant, we're a place to gather, graze, and enjoy food.
