Oh boy! A sushi tsunami in downtown Minneapolis! We’ve already got Origami, Nami, and Koyi Sushi in the warehouse district, sushi at Martini Blu at the Grand Hotel, Ichiban on the Nicollet Mall, Wasabi on Washington Avenue near the Metrodome, Tensuke Sushi in the skyways… and now, joining them in mid-August, in the former Olive Garden space on the corner of 6th and Hennepin, will be Musashi Japanese Restaurant. According to manager Mickey Liu, owner Tyu Di Chen, a native of China, worked at Japanese restaurants in Japan for ten years before coming to the States. Just how Musashi will differentiate itself from its competitors isn’t clear, but Liu says his restaurant’s cuisine will be better.
