Michelin-Starred Sushi Spot Reopens After 7-Month Closure — With Changes | Eater SF

"I learned that, just after Kinjo (2206 Polk) received its first Michelin star last fall, the restaurant was suddenly closed by flooding from an upstairs neighbor; repairs took longer than expected (they had originally hoped to reopen in January), and although Kinjo has finally reopened, it isn’t exactly the same. The 42-seat omakase sushi spot was opened in January 2016 by Takatoshi Toshi (Sushi Ran) with Billy Kong and Kua Chuang of Lower Haight sushi spot Ijji, but during the extended closure Toshi departed, returning to Marin to open Masa’s Sushi and Appetizer in Novato. Now the kitchen is led by chef Fujii Tahahiro of Japan, billed as a “guest chef,” and he’s introduced new offerings: both a kaiseki multi-course dinner and a sushi-focused omakase; according to the restaurant website, sushi bar seating is reserved for the full kaiseki menu ($135 per person) while table service is $80 per guest, and hours are Wednesday to Sunday from 5:45 p.m. to 9:30 p.m." - Caleb Pershan
