"Sushi Salon earned its stripes as a roving sushi pop-up, appearing at both Oakland’s Fish & Bird Izakaya and Ramen Shop in the leadup to the opening of their eight-seat sushi counter in Oakland. Chef Joji Nonaka hails from Michelin Guide-listed Utzutzu, as does partner Anna Osawa, and the duo now offers an omakase menu highlighting fish from renowned fish concierge Hiroki Hasegawa." - Luke Tsai
