Toyota Stadium, Frisco — Japan's Base Camp, Three Miles from Our Table
When FIFA selected Toyota Stadium as Japan's official base camp for the 2026 tournament, it placed the Samurai Blue squad within a Frisco community of Japanese-affiliated families, businesses, and corporate offices — and within walking distance of one of the largest concentrations of Japanese-owned commerce in the southwestern United States.
Jinbeh Frisco sits less than 3 miles from Toyota Stadium at 2693 Preston Road. For traveling Japanese supporters who want a pre-training-day meal, a post-practice dinner, or anything that tastes like home, Jinbeh is the closest authentic option to base camp. Our staff includes Japanese speakers. Our menu has been built with the same care that has defined the restaurant since 1988.

Pre or Post Match
Best Japanese Restaurant Near AT&T Stadium for World Cup Matches
AT&T Stadium in Arlington — the marquee North Texas venue for the 2026 tournament — sits 42 miles south of Jinbeh Frisco and 32 miles southeast of Jinbeh Lewisville. The math: a 45-minute drive north for an early dinner before kickoff, or a 35-minute drive home post-match for a celebration meal. For Japanese-fan parties wanting authentic Japanese food without compromise, Jinbeh is the closest hibachi + sushi restaurant in the AT&T Stadium → Frisco corridor.
We're a natural midpoint for the multi-day pattern most international supporters follow: stadium for the match → northbound to Frisco for hotels, base-camp visits, and meals → repeat.
