Bar Shoji
At our celebrated omakase restaurant the Shota, chef Ingi Son took away the rigidity of the chef’s counter, making quips and giving voice to a fresh tuna carcass in between carving out top-shelf bites of its fatty belly. Still, Son’s customers regularly asked him if he had plans for a more casual spot to have a few drinks and not be tied to a tasting menu.
Uni Amaebi Donburi
Whatever it is, at night, it becomes a restaurant with a flawless uni and sweet shrimp donburi. Gently nudge the jewel-like jammy yolk in the center and stir it throughout the entire bowl to bind everything together. The uni has the texture of a warm pad of butter, and the shrimp has a barely-there chew before melting in your mouth. Just take a big scoop, cradle it in a toasted sheet of nori, and take a moment to appreciate your handiwork before eating.
The Menu
The drinks program at Shoji is top-tier, and the food is no joke, either. Son’s restaurant work has earned Michelin attention — the Shota holds a star, after all. Kornnawong headed here after departing Oakland’s Jo’s Modern Thai. From the word go, all that skill is on full display. Just sitting down and taking a sip from the Cold Noodle — a nonalcoholic drink with an outrageous wasabi rim — is a mind-melder. The sweet and floral Mayabi is worth an order, and another booze-free drink composed of apple and dashi kicks in the back of the teeth like a strong highball and is worth ordering, too.
Cafe shoji
Shoji’s café program is rooted in a passion for both traditional and modern coffee culture, alongside a deep appreciation for tea.
Through thoughtfully curated partnerships with local roasters and international producers, we craft each offering to showcase the unique character, origin, and flavor profile behind every cup.

Yuzucello & Milk brew
The Yuzucello, our signature single-origin espresso mocktail, delivers layers of flavor in every sip, opening with bright citrus and tart yuzu before giving way to the subtle bitterness and stone-fruit notes of the espresso.
Other highlights include a coconut lemonade co-ferment milk brew and a vibrant Colombian pour-over with sweet, candy-like notes reminiscent of watermelon.
At Shoji, we craft every drink with intention.
From classic espresso beverages and lattes to thoughtfully prepared teas and matcha.
One of our signature favorites pairs the bold, earthy character of ceremonial matcha with a generous cloud of lightly sweetened whipped cream, creating a perfectly balanced blend of richness, sweetness, and depth.
