Ijji, Nigiri-Only Sushi Spot, Now Open in the Lower Haight

LOWER HAIGHT — Sushi chefs Billy Kong (Saru Sushi in Noe Valley) and Kua Catuang (Seiya in San Carlos) have teamed up to open Ijji Sushi, a nigiri-only Japanese restaurant that sources more than 90 percent of its fish from Japan. Omakase is available, and starts at eight pieces with prices usually between $48 and $60 depending on the day’s fish. A few cold small plates are also on the menu, like nasu nibitashi, a chilled, braised eggplant dish. Drinks are Japanese beer and sake.

Ijji has only 17 seats, most for walk-in only, but the 7-seat hinoki cypress wood sushi bar is reservation only (and it’s a different experience from other sushi bars as there’s no cold case displaying fish). Ijji Sushi is open at 252 Divisadero St. Tuesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
