Uni Shushi 单品寿司

JapaneseOmakaseSushiKaiseki

Uni Shushi is a 12-seat omakase counter in PAC Mall, Jing'an, conceived by Ochiyo's celebrated chef Sun-San and helmed by his disciple Wang Yang. Offering the Oyama-school kaiseki-sushi experience at a more accessible ¥498–¥698 price point, it has quickly become one of Jing'an's most compelling omakase options.

About
Uni Shushi (单品寿司) represents Sun-San's vision of democratizing the Oyama-school omakase in Jing'an, where quality counters are scarce. Head chef Wang Yang trained directly under Sun-San and carries the same pedigree: meticulous fish sourcing, careful temperature and seasoning control, and a kaiseki-inflected structure moving from chawanmushi and sashimi through grilled dishes, tempura, six-plus pieces of nigiri, and a handroll finale. The ¥698 set includes generous helpings of uni, fatty tuna, and seasonal shellfish. The counter splits six seats at the bar and six in a private room, offering both an open-kitchen theater experience and a more intimate dining option. With two evening seatings, reservations are essential.
Neighborhood & visiting

Uni Shushi 单品寿司 sits in Jing'an, one of Shanghai's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.

Why it's on Washoku Guide
  • Sun-San's Ochiyo pedigree — itself rooted in Sushi Oyama's legendary Japanese master Takeo Oyama — is transmitted here at a fraction of the flagship's price.
  • One of very few quality omakase options in Jing'an district, where premium Japanese counter dining has been historically underserved.
  • The ¥698 menu regularly features sea urchin, fatty tuna, and top-grade shellfish that would cost far more at other comparable counters.
  • The private room option makes it ideal for small-group celebrations that still want an omakase experience without full-scale tasting-menu pricing.

Two evening seatings (17:30 and 20:00); reservations are required as the 12 seats fill quickly. The ¥498 menu is a strong value entry point. — Format: Omakase counter. Authenticity: Conceived by Ochiyo's chef-owner Sun-San (Oyama school); head chef Wang Yang is Sun-San's direct disciple trained in the Oyama lineage; the counter maintains Ochiyo's standards at a lower price point.
