New Omakase Spot SH Brings Playful Twist To Japanese Tradition

Chicago, ILLocal News

SHŌ, a new omakase restaurant, will open on Tuesday in Old Town, Chicago, featuring chefs Adam Sindler and Mari Katsumura. The 12-seat restaurant offers a modern interpretation of omakase, blending traditional Japanese flavors with playful presentations. Notable dishes include a hand roll inspired by sukiyaki, complemented by cotton candy. The chefs designed the space to encourage relaxation and conversation rather than a formal dining experience. Sindler has a rich history in the restaurant industry, having worked at Kamehachi and Roister, while Katsumura has earned accolades at top Chicago restaurants.

Both chefs aim to make SHŌ a memorable experience for diners, focusing on atmosphere as much as food. Reservations can be made through OpenTable, with options for vegetarian and vegan menus available upon request. The restaurant's opening reflects the growing popularity of omakase dining in Chicago since Kamehachi introduced it in 1967.
