THE MEANING OF EBISU

Ebisu, one of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune, is the deity of prosperity in one's occupation. In agricultural villages he is considered a deity of rice paddies, and in fishing villages he is believed to ensure a good catch. He is also venerated as a deity of the kitchen. Ebisu is usually depicted carrying a sea bream (a symbol of good luck) under his left arm and a fishing rod in his right hand.

OUR HISTORY
Raised in the restaurant business in Japan, Ebisu proprietor Steve Fujii moved to the United States in the 1960's. Steve returned to the business in which he was raised in 1976.

Steve began his new career with a successful Japanese restaurant in San Francisco before branching off on his own in 1982 to start Ebisu.

Ebisu was founded on the concept of combining the freshest ingredients with the art of sushi; eat with the eyes, taste with the mouth. Steve wanted to delight his patrons with expertly prepared foods in an atmosphere that was warm, friendly, and fun.

Over the years, Ebisu has won numerous awards for its artfully prepared food, the quality of its ingredients, and the friendly atmosphere that keeps its loyal customers coming back again and again.
