A new hand-roll-focused sushi restaurant will open at The Joinery in Optimist Park this fall.
Why it matters: Sharigato will introduce a new kind of sushi experience to Charlotte — one that will be consistent and craveable, served one roll at a time for peak flavor and texture, says chef-owner Shari Lynne Robins.
What to expect: Each roll is made to order and served at a 24-seat counter, where people can watch the process unfold. “You will get a hand roll where the seaweed is still crispy on the outside, which is how you’re supposed to eat it,” says Robins.
- A separate takeout window — dubbed Shariboto — will offer maki-style rolls wrapped in a special film to help retain texture. Sushi robots will help prepare the rice and roll it to keep the prep time efficient and consistent.
- Seating at the counter will be available on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. There is additional indoor and outdoor seating for guests to enjoy their Shariboto orders.
- “There’s something about the simplicity of it … this crunchy texture, and then the warm rice and this yummy fish that just makes you keep craving it,” Robins tells Axios.
