The future site of Chikurin

There will soon be one less sushi restaurant dotting the two-block stretch of Sheepshead Bay Road, aka, “Sushi Row,” between Jerome Avenue and Shore Parkway.

[Chikurin](http://www.chikurinsushi.com/default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com), currently located at 1661 Sheepshead Bay Road, is moving out, but before we shout “*domo arigato*” (to the ubiquitous sushi eateries — not to Chikurin itself), it turns out that, according to their liquor license application, they’re only relocating around the corner to 1702 Avenue Z.

Yes, that [1702 Avenue Z](/index.php?s=1702+avenue+z).

Chikurin, we believe, is the longest continuously operating sushi joint on Sheepshead Bay Road; though the storefront that is now [Ichiko](/its-alive-ichiko-sushi-opens-today/), [1650 Sheepshead Bay Road](/back-from-the-dead-sushi-edition/), and which was previously Sakura I (whose antiquated signage is [still visible on Google Maps](http://g.co/maps/xvthb?ref=bklyner.com)) and then [Sakura II](/one-down-736-sushi-joints-to-go/), has been serving sushi in that location longer, but they changed owners, names and menus.

What can I say? It’s all so confusing. In either event, we wish Chikurin an easy move, and much success in their new location.
