Just like Tataki, where the chefs carefully make sushi with sustainable alternatives to commonly used fish, Shizen treats their main ingredients with just as much honor and respect. Actually, Shizen is the latest venture from the Tataki people, who developed the concept for San Francisco’s very first and much-loved sustainable sushi joint. All of the decor from the wood barn-like structure to the wood stump block seats, vertical moss terrarium walls, and everything in between felt so completely natural and organic – and it fits.Īt Shizen, the entire menu focuses on skillfully utilizing and transforming vegetables and other meat-alternatives in place of other proteins. A dark wood arched framework spans the entire length of the ceiling, giving the restaurant a cozy, defined, zen garden feel. They’ve successfully taken a blank canvas restaurant space on the ground floor of a boxy, new, modern apartment complex near Mission Street’s chaos and transformed it into a stylish, Japanese oasis. However, Shizen, which is situated at the north edge of the Mission, right at the crossroads of SOMA and Duboce Triangle is a much swankier, sexier sit down spot in comparison. Ordinarily, I’d be wary and repulsed even by just the concept of vegan sushi, but I’ve already experienced this sort of sorcery at a brilliant NYC hole-in-the-wall called Beyond Sushi. And given that one member of the group was a vegetarian and another vegan, Shizen, a trendy, new Mission Japanese hotspot with a completely vegan menu seemed like the perfect place for the job. We all felt like we needed to eat something a little lighter and healthier to heal to wounds of the binge. I was with a couple friends and we had just spent the previous 24 hours gluttonously eating an drinking more than any humans should. “Hey guys, want to go for vegan sushi in the Mission?” – a phrase I never thought I’d hear myself say.
