## Why We Like It

Pristine sushi created by masters in a beautifully understated yet stylish room — there’s nothing like it. Here, chef Takahashi Shoji, who helmed Matsuya for years, brings it all to his 10-seat counter.

## About Omakase Shoji & Izakaya

Legendary Japanese sushi chef, Takashi Iida, makes his return to the Chicago dining scene with Chef Takahashi Shoji via his restaurant Omakase Shoji & Izakaya in West Town. Chef Shoji serves his signature edomae-style omakase at the restaurant’s intimate 10-seat sushi counter, presenting the freshest fish and ingredients sourced directly from Japan and perfectly aged to showcase each course’s peak flavor.

Guests can enjoy a curated selection of sake, wine, beer, Japanese whiskies, and exclusive chilled Japanese tea with the experience; or a special pairing featuring a rotating selection of dynamic, adventurous sakes from various Japanese prefectures.
