"Launched as a pandemic pivot in March 2022 to make use of an unused kitchen, this sushi operation built a strong following over four years and was praised by management as a successful story of overcoming adversity and offering some of the city’s best sushi. It closed in April; the co‑founder and chef plans to open a new restaurant using the same name." - Ashok Selvam
"The sushi restaurant inside CH Distillery in West Loop will close on April 5. Ownership is splitting: according to an Instagram post, one half is retaining the name and will have an announcement soon, while the other owner is planning a Logan Square spot called Omakase Box at 3038 W. Armitage Avenue." - Ashok Selvam
"This pop-up-turned-permanent restaurant inside CH Distillery (the maker of Jeppson’s Malört) is one of the city’s most unusual spots, offering a 14-course omakase in a modern, industrially-influenced space. Diners can also order nigiri, sashimi, and maki a la carte." - Naomi Waxman
"While we probably won’t attempt our own 15-course omakase any time soon, making handrolls feels both fun and manageable. Jinsei Motto, a delivery-only sushi spot on Tock makes this possible. Along with their regular menu of nigiri, sashimi, and maki, they also sell handroll kits. Each pack costs $40 and comes with spicy tuna, spicy tako, spicy shrimp, salmon, avocado, cucumber, rice, and seaweed." - adrian kane
