Shaws First Omakase
Founded in 2019, Zeppelin Restaurant & Bar serves up sushi and Japanese charcoal-grilled yakitori, paying homage to the Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships. The restaurant features traditional Edomae-style nigiri sushi and an omakase bar led by Chef Minoru Ogawa — a Tokyo native, second-generation sushi chef, and owner of Sushi Ogawa. Trained under his master-chef father in the Nippori section of Tokyo, Ogawa carries on a family legacy that spans over 50 years, with both his father and brother renowned as master sushi chefs in Japan. Staying true to his roots, Chef Ogawa imports fish directly from Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji Market and meticulously crafts each piece of sushi for an unforgettable omakase experience.
Together with partners Adrian Williams, Ari Wilder, and Micah Wilder of Chaplin’s, Chef Ogawa helped bring Zeppelin to life — a vibrant destination where Japanese tradition meets the spirit of adventure.
