Located in Sta. Ana Manila, RARJAP Sushi House is the brainchild restaurant of chef Rowena together with her husband. The couple have decided to open this restaurant after starting only as a home-based work made available through online selling of sushi platter.
As a tribute for people who continuously crave for authentic yet affordable Japanese cuisine, RARJAP Sushi House then opened its doors to the public, making the said restaurant the very first Japanese restaurant in Sta. Ana Manila. Some of their recommended dishes or best sellers include:
