Shanghai's Japanese cuisine is on par with the cuisine you'd find back in Japan. Only the best of Japan's sushi and other foods arrive across the pond to please Shanghai locals and expats.
Oyama Sushi Bar boasts the best sushi in Shanghai-- hands down. You'll love the sushi but the rest of the menu is also delicious and memorable. Meanwhile, the decor and staff make Oyama a place you'd love to return to time and time again.
Da Jiang Hu Japanese Restaurant is another sushi hot spot (or should I say, cold-spot) that leaves the sushi scene forever improved. A bit on the pricey side, you'll find delicacies that wouldn't be possible on a lesser budget.
Haiku is a poem of a restaurant offering fine Japanese cuisine at a reasonable price. Known for the sushi, but also for the noodles and yakatori, you'll find something to adore and salivate over on Haiku's menu.
Shintori, Japanese cuisine at Chinese prices at Western standards. Come for the saki, stay for the food and great atmosphere. Shintori gets under your skin like a great itch you can't scratch.
Finding a Japanese place you love in Shanghai isn't hard, considering the amazing options, but Yamazota raises the bar and improves the whole Japanese dining scene. You'll find a beautiful selection of Japanese treats at Silva Lounge,
Ai Ya and Moonsha all known for ramen and Japanese tapas. Meanwhile, Sakura and Yi Ren Guan are a more local favorites, with infusions of local cuisine.
