About Zaisho
"明珠在掌" – "The bright pearl lies in your palm."
This Zen phrase expresses the idea that happiness is already within one’s grasp. Inspired by the notion of sushi born from the palm of the hand, we named our restaurant Zaisho.
It is our hope that the creations crafted by the hands of two young chefs, inheritors of the techniques and spirit of Sushi Sakai, will bring you happiness. Carrying forward the art of hospitality, we serve seasonal small plates and sushi infused with youthful creativity, using only the carefully selected ingredients trusted by Sushi Sakai.
To enhance your dining experience, we recommend pairings curated by our dedicated sommelier, offering new dimensions of flavour with fine wines and sake.
Hospitality Bridging Generations
We use the same carefully selected ingredients trusted by Sushi Sakai, enhanced with the fresh creativity of our young chefs to craft seasonal small plates and sushi.
We also recommend exploring new dimensions of flavor through pairings of wine and sake, thoughtfully curated by our dedicated sommelier.
