Exclusive guides, early access, & perks at Tucson's best spots
Explore local restaurants with $7,400+ in member value at 140+ of our favorite local spots.
Track tastings, pairings, and drink lists in one place—so you can plan a night out or a last-minute happy hour without the group chat debate.
Get first dibs on chef collabs, one-off menus, and small-format dinners that sell out before we can even write them up for the homepage.

Open the guides and lists you already trust on the site—synced in the app with maps, hours, and the exact order we’d actually eat in.
Bookmark the spots you’re dying to try and share a short list with friends so no one shows up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Log in for member stories, early access, and partner offers that don’t always make it to email or social—just the app.

For nearly 20 years, Diana and Jun Arai have helped shape Tucson’s Japanese dining scene.
When @ginzatucson opened in 2008, it became the first restaurant in Tucson to feature an izakaya style menu, bringing Japan’s popular shareable dining experience to the city. Today, it’s still the only restaurant in town with a dedicated izakaya menu, along with one of Tucson’s largest curated selections of sake, Japanese beer, and shochu.
In 2018, the couple expanded again with @raijinramen, Tucson’s first restaurant dedicated entirely to ramen. Known for its rich tonkotsu broths and seasonal specialties, Raijin helped pave the way for the city’s growing ramen scene.
From fresh fish flown in daily from Japan and California to chef’s choice omakase experiences, Ginza continues to showcase authentic Japanese cuisine while Jun and Diana regularly travel to Japan to bring back the latest culinary trends.
📍 Ginza Sushi & Izakaya: 5425 N. Kolb Rd.
📍 Raijin Ramen: 2955 E. Speedway Blvd.
