Hiro Sushi — authentic traditional japanese sushi restaurant in Phoenix, Central Scottsdale — Editorial placeholder

About

For over two decades, Hirofumi Nakano has operated one of Scottsdale's most quietly brilliant sushi bars. Born and trained in Japan, Nakano brings an Edo-style philosophy to every piece of nigiri and every order of sashimi, with fish sourced directly from Tokyo's premier fish markets. The restaurant is unpretentious — a neighborhood staple rather than a destination destination — but the quality of the fish and the precision of Nakano's cuts rival far more expensive establishments. His son Leo carries on the family tradition at Sushi Nakano in Ahwatukee. Visit Phoenix lists Hiro Sushi among the top sushi spots in the Valley.

Hiro Sushi sits in Central Scottsdale, one of Phoenix's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root.
