Nestled in a little city just north of Detroit, Sozai brings you the comforts of Grandma’s home cooking alongside the excitement of innovative new dishes. We are delighted to share ingredients from around the globe, but we have a special appreciation for those we source from local farms and fisheries. Sozai is proud to serve sustainable sushi with a close eye on traceability, fish populations, fishing methods, and farming practices.

Be prepared for approximately four hours of traditional and creative Japanese fare. Kappo cannot be altered to accommodate any dietary restrictions.

HAJIME SATO
Chef/Owner
Certified Saké Advisor
Hajime’s sense of adventure led him to leave Japan for a year as an exchange student in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He later relocated to Seattle, Washington where he opened his award-winning restaurant Mashiko in 1994. In 2009, Hajime became one of the first sushi chefs to commit to using only sustainable seafood. When Hajime decided to move to Michigan in 2019, several of his former employees took over the restaurant. Hajime is excited to share his experience and passion with everyone at Sozai!
