"Shion 69 Leonard - the one-Michelin-starred omakase restaurant in Manhattan - caught fire late last month. It happened on Saturday, December 27, around 5 p.m., and no one was hurt, per the publication. However, the Sushi Legend blog previously reported that chef Shion Uino was planning to leave the restaurant after Wednesday, December 31. The chef wrote on Instagram that he'll "post regarding my activities" for 2026."
"Owner Idan Elkon has tagged Uino to run the kitchen since 2021, focusing on Edomae-style sushi. Eater has reached out for more information. The new construction spot in Soho opening under Brooklyn bistro Chez Ma Tante's chef Jake Leiber will be called Nadia's, a spokesperson confirmed. It's named after his mother, who was a maitre'd for 20 years before becoming an interior designer. The New York Post reported that Leiber signed a 4,437-square-foot ground-floor lease at 555 Greenwich Street."
