“I am exceptionally proud of this achievement,” boasts owner/operator Chef Ed Metcalf. “I invite sushi novices and enthusiasts alike to join me at the sushi bar- ask for "omakase." My chefs and I promise to create off- menu items for a truly unique dining experience. We also feature an extensive modern Asian menu which highlights the best Sonoma County has to offer, seasonal organic ingredients from local farmers, exotic premium sakes, unique cuisine, and a great crowd makes Shiso one of Sonoma's most popular restaurants.”

“I love the complexity and simplicity of Asian cuisine, like the Shiso leaf, our goal is to express ourselves with clean, healthy, creative, and unique dishes in a positive atmosphere,” boasts Metcalf.  “Our vision is to be socially responsible to our customers, community, and our environment. We make our very best efforts to support local farmers for our product.  This means trying our best to use only chemical free produce, meat, fish and dairy,” shares Metcalf.
