There are so many great dining locations throughout the Disney Parks. You will definitely have ample choices during your next visit to Walt Disney World. Now, Disney is giving us one more delicious option to enjoy as well.

Before it closed, diners at Tokyo Dining were immersed in Japanese culture. Here, old-world traditions blended with modern-day Tokyo, and created an enjoyable dining experience. This table service location featured a variety of sushi.

However, this location is being replaced by a new restaurant: Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya. Earlier today, Disney gave us a first look at this delicious menu and we immediately wanted to book a reservation. Be sure to check out the full menu HERE.

Originally, Disney shared an opening for summer 2023. This was later updated to August 30th, which was then bumped up to August 28th.

Guests visiting EPCOT today are in luck! Before Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya officially opens to guests on August 30th, as previously announced, guests can enjoy this delectable menu starting TODAY!

According to the Japan Mitsubishi Instagram page, they will be open today for walk-ups only. Their current hours of operation are 12:00 pm until 9:00 pm.

According to the Japan Mitsubishi Instagram page, Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya will be open for walk-ups only.
