Bringing Japanese Cuisine to The Last Frontier
In 1978, Kumagoro was open with a clear goal—to bring authentic Japanese cuisine to Anchorage, Alaska. At that time, Japanese food was hard to find in the area, but he believed that fresh seafood, rice dishes, and warm bowls of ramen belonged in The Last Frontier. Kumagoro became a place where locals and visitors could enjoy the flavors of Japan, prepared the way they should be.
