What is ajito?
Inside Sho Sushi, there is a door that transports you to a whole other world that will make you completely forget that you’re even in Calgary. Ajito means the secret base of operations, a hidden safe place in Japanese. Ajito is a luxurious speakeasy-style place with authentic Japanese food and drinks that are definitely worth discovering and adding to your favourite list.
Our food is elegant and authentic. Our chef has been working for years to perfect its preparation and presentation so that its flavours are pure and delicate. Like many of the world’s cuisines, Japanese food celebrates and highlights the flavours, textures and colours of seasonal produce.
