Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya opened in EPCOT's Japan pavilion on the second floor of the Mitsukoshi building, soft-opening for walk-up guests on August 15, 2023 before its August 30 grand opening.
Shiki-Sai launched a rotating seasonal-festival menu (its name translates as 'Festival of the Four Seasons'), billed as the first Disney World restaurant to deliberately change its menu with the seasons, with dishes tied to Japanese seasonal festivals.
Shiki-Sai opened with an open sushi bar and a premium menu including a roughly $300 sushi boat and $100 sushi bridge alongside more approachable izakaya small plates like okonomiyaki (~$28).
Shiki-Sai is a reconcept of the prior table-service restaurant Tokyo Dining, which closed in November 2022 and never reopened; Disney announced the new izakaya-style replacement in May 2023.
That's every change on the record at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya since 2023.
