About "First seen" dates
"First seen" reflects when each restaurant first surfaced in our combined evidence — City permit, public-health inspection, social media — usually within a few weeks of opening, but a permit can lead actual opening by months. How we verify ›
Shinji centers on Sushi and Sashimi preparations a focus on Nigiri and raw fish formats that demand precision from the kitchen. The omakase experience positions the restaurant as a chef-led counter operation where the menu unfolds through the kitchen's selections rather than diner choice, a format that appeals to diners seeking curated progression and technical confidence. The Nigiri and Sashimi are the calling cards, executed with the precision and ingredient quality that distinguish Sushi-focused kitchens from general Japanese dining.
