"Sushi is a light, balanced, and nourishing way to enjoy fresh ingredients."

Our Story

At Shodai Sushi Zadar, you know exactly what you’re getting: fresh sushi made from traceable Adriatic fish and carefully selected Japanese ingredients.

Founded by Vice Katačić, Master of Marine Fisheries Engineering, the concept is built on quality, hygiene, and a deep understanding of fish — from sourcing to preparation.

“Shodai,” meaning first generation, reflects a new approach to sushi in Zadar: clean, well-balanced flavors at fair prices, with a strong focus on sustainability and minimal waste.

A key part of this philosophy is the origin of the fish. The fish used is exclusively from controlled and verified sources, and it is important to emphasize how crucial this is for sushi — considering freshness, catch methods, traceability, microbiological safety, and overall product hygiene. This ensures that every piece of sushi meets the highest standards, not only in taste but also in safety, transparency, and trust.
