Norigami’s inspiration comes from the marriage of nori, meaning seaweed, and origami, a type of Japanese paper folding technique. Much like how origami can transform a single piece of paper into endless forms, Norigami uses sushi techniques to transform fresh fish into endless possibilities. Both are handcrafted to bring out the beauty of a piece of paper, a piece of fish.

Fun fact: We serve our nigiri on colorfully patterned Japanese washi paper. At the end of the meal, some guests have been known to fold the washi paper into a crane, which goes into our paper crane “centerpiece" — a glass bowl that houses all of our guest-made paper cranes.
