About
A five-course Japanese-Midwestern anniversary dinner with limited-release sake pairings.
Gaijin turns its seventh anniversary into a genuinely one-night occasion, with chefs Paul Virant and Marcus Rasmussen building five courses around Japanese traditions and Midwestern ingredients. The sake-focused second night, presented with Yamasho, offers more purpose than a routine Thursday reservation.
What to expect
Reserve a table for an evening meal rather than a walk-in tasting. Dinner service runs from 5 to 9 PM, with the anniversary menu and optional sake pairings forming the centerpiece.
