​Tradition, refined by time.

​

Shota is an intimate Edomae omakase experience in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, founded by Chef-Owner Cheng Lin.

​

In 1999, Chef Lin discovered Shota No Sushi, a Japanese manga about a young sushi chef’s pursuit of mastery. Inspired by its devotion to craft, he knew that one day his own restaurant would be called Shota.

​

More than two decades later, that vision became reality.

Rooted in traditional Edomae techniques, Shota balances tradition with thoughtful innovation. From seafood sourced through trusted relationships in Japan to carefully selected rice, vinegar, nori, and soy sauce, every element is chosen with intention.

Exceptional ingredients. Precise craftsmanship. Respect for every detail.

​

In 2024, just one year after opening, Shota was awarded One Michelin Star.
