I know many of you were in deep despair when Sheepshead Bay Road’s longtime sushi establishment, [Chikurin](/tag/chikurin/), bid a sad farewell to the oversaturated sushi-laden thoroughfare and [moved into the ground floor of 1702 Avenue Z](/sayonara-to-sheepshead-bay-road-sushi-joint/).

Fret not, sushi aficionados, for filling in the vacancy — although not in the same space as Chikurin once was — will be Shinjuku Japanese Restaurant, [named after](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjuku?ref=bklyner.com) a special ward of Tokyo, Japan, and which means “New Lodge.” Shinjuku will open up shop at 1664 Sheepshead Bay Road, the location previously occupied by Chert Poberi Café.

What can I say? My prediction: In five years from now, there will not be a single establishment left on Sheepshead Bay Road that will not serve sushi. It’s probably a matter of time before we start seeing California rolls being sold out of CVS, Night Light Café and Bally’s.
