Made with care from the finest seasonal ingredients, presented in an artful composition, and served with deep respect, Shige Sushi & Izakaya brings the real Japan to Sonoma Valley.
Raised in Tokyo, proprietor Shige Mori was immersed in a food culture much more nuanced than we see on a typical Japanese menu. Here and at his Cotati location they bring that food and philosophy to an American audience. You can choose from the finest sushi made from both staple and unusual fish as well as small plates and traditional donabe that capture the essence of washoku. While the menu is always rooted in Japanese fundamentals of flavor, specials are inspired by the season, the catch, and the harvest, and there is always something new to enjoy. A collector’s menu of premium sake will complement your meal and seasonal specials feature local fare.
