CHARLOTTE – After relocating from Los Angeles to Charlotte and suddenly finding herself unemployed at the age of 60, Shari Lynne Robins was inspired to return to her restaurant roots.

Robins will open SHARIGATO, a hand-roll restaurant, at Joinery in the fall.

“I knew it was time to take matters into my own hands and bring my passion for Japanese and California cuisine to life here in Charlotte,” Robins said. “I believe food has to be craveable, and what I am trying to build at SHARIGATO is consistency across incredible flavors so that people can’t stop thinking about coming back for more.”
