Located in the heart of Chicago’s Old Town, SHŌ redefines omakase with a fresh, modern energy—blending Japanese technique, global influence, and a vibey, design-forward setting. Executive Chef Mari Katsumura presents a ten-course tasting menu that changes seasonally, weaving together traditional sushi and hand rolls with composed hot and cold dishes that spotlight texture, balance, and bold, unexpected flavors. 

SUMMER VOL. 1

Both a tribute to legacy and a break from convention, SHŌ tosses the rulebook on what omakase “should” be. Its curated soundscape, kinetic interiors, and globally attuned tasting menu come together in a multisensory format that favors rhythm over ritual — immersive, expressive, and tuned to the moment.
