Sushi by baaska found its home!
After years of pop-ups, private dinners, and a community that showed up for him, Baaska is opening his first restaurant. As of August 11th, we are at $103 a bit over half way of our goal. Help us get to $200K!
from Baaska
Over the past three years, Iβve been building Sushi By Baaska through private in-home dining and pop-ups, serving the community with high-quality sushi with a little flair. I'm thankful for the people I've gotten to meet and the places these opportunities have taken me.
We're taking a big next step: opening a permanent home for Sushi By Baaska.
We've signed the lease to the old Zenbox Izakaya location in Downtown Minneapolis and have already begun renovations.
We're raising $200K to upgrade kitchen equipment, cover upfront costs for employee benefits, offset operational costs, and finish renovations. Part of the renovation project includes converting the current kitchen bar into a proper sushi bar - the heart of our restaurant.
Please consider supporting and if you can't afford to give, a share goes a long way.
We're excited to have you. See you very soon!

At-Home Omakase
CURRENTLY SOLD OUT
Before Sushi by Baaska ever had a home, it had dinners like this: Baaska, in your kitchen, cooking for the people you love most.
For one night, your home becomes the restaurant. Baaska brings the full omakase experience with drink pairing directly to your table , for a party of up to 10, with no one else in the room but the people you chose to be there.
Omakase Fundraiser Dinner
CURRENTLY SOLD OUT
Four Sundays before the Grand Opening, Baaska opens the new space for an exclusive single 16-seat Omakase dinner.
You'll be among the first to taste the menu before it's public, including a few dishes made exclusively for these omakase nights.
Drink pairings available and priced separately.

varies
A small, one-time run made only for this launch. Once it's gone, it's gone. Hats, beanies, tees, and a few other pieces, designed just for this moment and never restocked.
This tier is less about the item and more about wearing a piece of the story. Every purchase goes straight toward bringing Sushi by Baaska to life.
