Sushi Restaurant Coming to Town
Look for a master chef serving Japanese fare at the Pleasant Street location.
A sushi restaurant received selectmen's approval for the transfer of a wine, beer and cordial license to a sushi restaurant, Junji, on Pleasant Street.
Master chef Junji Aoki said in an interview earlier this month that he expects to open at 114 Pleasant St. in mid-January.
The menu will include Japanese fare, among the specialities — sushi and tempura.
The wine and beer license was transferred from Joey D's Italian Grille, the former restaurant at 114 Pleasant St. The address was the longtim hoem to the restaurant Hooked, before Joey D moved in.
Junji Aoki was recently serving sushi at a popular longtime downtown Wakefield restaurant — Sushi Island — before the establishment was sold in August.
