Meet our Signature Soulful Dashi Soup — a light, fragrant clear soup crafted from five simple ingredients. Delicate yet deeply comforting, it reflects the essence of Japanese simplicity and balance.
At S***a, we serve our dashi before the sushi courses as a gentle palate cleanser, preparing the senses for the flavors and textures to come throughout the omakase experience.

Thank you to for including S***a as one of the best Japanese restaurants in New York City.

Every day at S***a begins the same way, with discipline, focus, and respect for the craft.
Checking fish, cleaning fish, filleting, preparing each ingredient, and getting everything ready for service. The routine may look the same, but consistency is what creates excellence.
From the moment we receive our ingredients to the final course served at the counter, our goal never changes: delivering the same quality, care, and hospitality from start to finish, every single day.

Each month, we carefully select a special sake to pair with our omakase, creating a dining experience that is both enjoyable and memorable. Thoughtfully chosen to complement the season and our ingredients, each pairing is designed to bring more depth, harmony, and fun to every course.

Every day marks a new expression of the season.
At S***a, each service is guided by what arrives that morning—
the subtle fat of the fish, the salinity of the ocean, the timing of the tide.
No two menus are ever identical: different guests, different cuts, different compositions.
Yet beneath that constant evolution lies discipline—
rice seasoned to the same balance, knife work held to the same standard,
temperature, texture, and timing executed with precision.
Different fish. Different evening.
But the same philosophy, the same respect for ingredients, the same level of craft.
To those joining us for the first time, and those who return—
thank you for allowing us to serve you.

A rare dialogue between two distinct styles, curated into one seamless omakase experience.

What people say
Sushi restaurants are renowned for their ability to transform simple ingredients into extraordinary culinary experiences. At Shota Omakase on South 3rd Street, this philosophy is taken to new heights through a masterful blend of Edomae sushi traditions and contemporary culinary innovation.
The restaurant's commitment to the art of marinating, curing, and aging showcases an uncompromising dedication to quality and flavor. Each dish is crafted with precision, ensuring that every bite resonates with the essence of time-honored techniques while also embracing modern creativity.
One standout offering is the Yari-ika, or Spear Squid. This exquisite delicacy exemplifies Shota's attention to detail and freshness. When served, it presents a slight translucence that captivates the eye, but as it matures over time, it transforms into a pristine white with an irresistible sweetness. The pairing with Shota’s signature Shari elevates this dish even further; chef Cheng Lin enhances its natural flavors with a delicate touch of sea salt, creating a harmonious balance that delights the palate.
Dining at Shota Omakase is not just about enjoying sushi; it's about embarking on a gastronomic odyssey where tradition meets innovation in every meticulously prepared dish.
