Meet the Chef, Sky Zheng

Wa Shin is built from the best.

Our Executive Chef Sky Zheng was mentored by Master Chef Daisuke Nakazawa - the protege of the world-renowned Jiro Ono, one of the greatest sushi craftsmen alive today and from the Netflix documentary, “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”.

Chef Sky underwent rigorous training and exploration in Nakazawa’s Michelin-starred NYC restaurant Sushi Nakazawa - one of only six restaurants with a perfect 4-star review from the The New York Times.

Now, Chef Sky has brought his exceptional talent and love of the craft to Boston - his reverence for the traditions of Japanese cuisine radiating through phenomenal flavor pairings, knife skills and presentation.

The Food:

Our promise? To never sit still. Wa Shin’s menu shifts with the seasons - ensuring only the freshest, most-delectable ingredients make it to the Omakase counter.

Chef Sky is a passionate supporter of local farmers and fishermen - upholding our commitment to harmonizing the flavors of Boston and Japan in a way you must taste to believe.

Wa Shin brings you up-close-and-personal with Chef Sky as he steers the ship - delivering a stream of unconventional courses that weave a tapestry of delicious storytelling just for you.
