"The small plates at Shigotonin are plated beautifully, and with portion sizes that encourage sampling from across the expansive menu. Start with a few plates of sashimi or nigiri, then move on to hot dishes like chazuke rice soup, skewered vegetables with thinly sliced pork, and bites of salmon with yuzu mayonnaise on toasted bread." - Jennifer Smith

"The dining room at Shigotonin comfortably accommodates every occasion from date night to a group birthday dinner. Order broadly and share everything: highlights include creamy uni pasta, hand rolls, grilled mackerel, and chicken karaage." - Krista Diamond, Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Shigotonin, a Japanese-style tapas and sake bar, opened in September in Golden Spring Plaza. The izakaya describes itself as offering “traditional Japanese dishes, regional specialties, and homemade cuisine with a modern flare.” Start with cold tofu with ikura, miso cheese, or roast pork, or try grilled mackerel, a salmon baguette, or salmon or scallop carpaccio. A short list of sushi and sashimi options, garlic fried rice, three kinds of chazuke, and tuna katsu round out the tight menu. Shigotonin also offers a range of sakes." - Susan Stapleton
"Having launched last month in the same plaza, I noted that Shigotonin operates as a Japanese-style tapas and sake bar." - Bradley Martin
