History
Established in 2004.
In February 2004, Kazu and his wife Akiko started their own restaurant called Kazu’s Sushi & Asian Bistro. It was very small, but grew to be a popular neighborhood spot. Even though the business was successful for 10 years, he wanted to create a home for his taste in diverse food, drink and music.
In December 2012, «KAZU’S 2.0» was reopened as the only Japanese Gastro Pub in the Gulf Gate district in the center of South Sarasota’s nightlife scene. Kazu brings together his natural talent for improvisation and aesthetic beauty to create wonderful works of musical and culinary art.
