The Soul of the Broth
Takara14 is a cozy two-floor Japanese restaurant nestled in the heart of D.C. Our mission is to make your dining experience exceptional by serving delicious, high-quality Japanese cuisine. Whether you're familiar with Japanese food or trying it for the first time, you'll find our dishes to be flavorful and satisfying.
Where the ancient art of the ramen broth meets the modern precision of the sushi bar. This is the story of Takara 14.
24 Hours in Every Bowl
At Takara 14, we believe that great ramen cannot be rushed. Our signature Tonkotsu broth is a labor of love, simmered for a full 24 hours to extract the deep, creamy umami that defines authentic Japanese soul food.
By meticulously managing the temperature and timing, our chefs create a rich, velvety base that perfectly complements our artisan noodles and tender, melt-in-your-mouth Chashu pork. Whether you prefer the earthy depth of our Black Garlic oil or the fermented kick of our Spicy Miso, every bowl is a testament to patience and tradition.
Freshness Without Compromise
Our sushi program is built on a foundation of daily sourcing. We partner with elite purists to bring the finest Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail, and Atlantic Salmon directly to our 14th Street kitchen.
Our sushi chefs balance the delicate traditions of Nigiri and Sashimi with the creative energy of the DC food scene. From our house-made soy reductions to the precise seasoning of our sushi rice, we ensure that every roll and every slice of fish is a masterclass in balance, texture, and temperature.
Above the 14th Street Hustle
Takara 14 was designed as an urban escape. Located on the 2nd floor of 1326 14th St NW, our space offers a unique vantage point over the Logan Circle corridor.
We’ve traded the noise of the street for a sleek, intimate atmosphere that is perfect for a focused culinary experience. Whether you are seeking a quiet corner for a date night or a vibrant seat at our interactive sushi bar, Takara 14 provides a sophisticated backdrop that matches the quality of the food on your plate.
