Hinoka Sushi is inviting customers in for one last meal before a permanent Sunday closing at its Sacramento restaurant near Highway 99 and Calvine Road.
The restaurant announced the shutdown on Facebook, The Sacramento Bee reported in a Nov. 14 story by Don Sweeney. The Bee said Hinoka announced Friday that Sunday would be its last day and asked people to come by that weekend.
Hinoka sits at 7311 W. Stockton Blvd. A 2023 Bee listing placed it in Suite 130 at that address. The restaurant's Facebook note, quoted by the Bee, put the send-off in plain terms: "Come join us this weekend for one last meal, one last sushi roll, and one last celebration at Hinoka."
The same post framed the closing as a turn, not a disappearance. "This is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter. Stay tuned for something exciting," Hinoka wrote. The restaurant did not say what that next step would be, and it did not give a reason for shutting the Stockton Boulevard dining room.
When The Sacramento Bee included Hinoka in an Oct. 3, 2023, roundup of restaurants that had opened around the region after September, the menu already ran past a standard sushi counter. Teriyaki dishes and bento boxes sat alongside kitchen plates such as miso lamb chops. The most striking part, the Bee wrote then, was the large sushi platters.
Final hours for Sunday were not included in the Bee's account. What Hinoka has put on the table is a last weekend of rolls and a celebration, with the rest of the chapter still unannounced.
