About
Sushi Aoki was opened in Shanghai as an extension of the tradition established by the Michelin-starred Sushi Ichi in Ginza, Tokyo. Chef Aoki-san runs the restaurant as a six-seat counter that works exclusively with Japanese ingredients flown in daily. The focus falls on Tsukiji-market fish, auctioned sea urchin, and red hair crab. Tucked into a quiet alleyway off Tai'an Road, it has long been one of the more discreet yet well-known omakase addresses among Shanghai's expat dining community, with lunch menus starting at 1,280 RMB.
