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 courses’ peak flavor.
