Spice dinner up with sushi!
Where to find edible works of art
Sushi has become increasingly popular over the years. According to the Michelin Guide, “sushi bars were unheard of in America until just over 50 years ago, when Kawafuku, the first “real” sushi restaurant the country had ever seen, opened in Los Angeles.” As the love for sushi continues to grow, more and more restaurants are popping up. The Beloit area is proud to be home to four outstanding sushi restaurants, each with its unique touch to the incredible and edible works of art.
Zen Sushi & Grill
Nestled along the downtown area is Zen Sushi & Grill, a local favorite for all sushi lovers. The owner, Brian Park, has been in the sushi business for over twenty years, which isn’t hard to tell once you’ve had a roll from Zen. Each roll is crafted to perfection. Aside from sushi, the restaurant offers plenty of Japanese-inspired dishes like Obento boxes, rice bowls, noodles, and more. Be sure to taste one of their specialty cocktails or two! The restaurant even offers al fresco dining on their outdoor patio!
