Isana Sushi Bar

"Chef Junichi Onuki is the opposite of the strict sushi-chef stereotype portrayed in movies like Jiro Dreams of Sushi. “I am not a scary sushi chef,” he says with a chuckle. He certainly won't shush or rush you: “I want people to feel relaxed when they come to my restaurant.” Cheerful, laid-back, and fluent in English, Onuki opened Isana Sushi Bar in 2012 after spending nearly a decade in London as the sushi chef at Zuma. On the ground floor of the Hotel S in Roppongi, the space is warm and glowing with seven counter seats and two tables." - Melinda Joe
