Located at 1835 US 1 S, Suite 115, in St. Augustine, Ginger Bistro Sushi serves up a selection of sushi, hibachi, and ramen choices, offering “A Culinary Journey Through Authentic Japanese Flavors.”
“Imagine a world where the rich umami of miso meets the delicate freshness of sushi,” says the Ginger Bistro website. “Now, imagine that world at Ginger Bistro. Our menu is a carefully curated selection of Japanese delights that take you straight to the heart of Tokyo. The best part? You don’t need a passport to experience it.”
Now, Chef Tuna, the culinary force behind Ginger Bistro, is preparing to launch a new restaurant, one that will include both a la carte entrees and an omakase experience: KoBu Sushi and Omakase.
“[The] New York-trained sushi chef is bringing his signature dry-aged fish techniques and high-end Japanese cuisine to San Marco, where he’ll open his second restaurant in a neighborhood that currently lacks dedicated sushi options,” said coverage published this week by the Jacksonville Business Journal.
“It’s going to be a full dining room, along with a patio, plus omakase by reservation only,” a representative of KoBu Omakase told What Now on Thursday. “We’re still ironing out how many days per week and how many sittings per night we’ll be doing omakase.”
Most of the details about the new restaurant, which opens July 12, are still under wraps, the representative said.
“All I can say right now is that we’re bringing something brand-new to the area. Dry-aged fish. Japanese A5 Wagyu.”
