Shinka, part of Omakase Restaurant Group, brings two decades of Japanese tradition and French technique to Northern California's ingredients, from its home in San Francisco's Financial District. Shinka offers a tasting menu in addition to a la carte options. Executive Chef Fumio Yonezawa, known to friends as Yone, trained at Jean-Georges in New York, where he became the first Japanese sous chef in the restaurant's kitchen, before returning to Tokyo to lead Jean-Georges Tokyo and later head The Burn. He opened his own restaurant, No Code, in 2022, and Shinka marks his first restaurant outside Asia.The cocktail program pairs a spirit-forward bar with Japanese ingredients and French technique, drawing on kitchen methods to build precise, minimalist cocktails alongside a list of rare Japanese whisky, while the wine and sake program ranges from artisanal sake to an Old and New World cellar, available by the glass, bottle, or curated pairing.
