NAPERVILLE, IL -- Shakou is celebrating the opening of its newest location, which first welcomed Naperville diners on Wednesday. The new eatery, located at 22 E. Chicago Ave., marks the fifth for the popular sushi spot.

Shakou's extensive sushi list includes both traditional and signature maki and nigiri. Signature rolls range from the niku niku, a combination of New York strip steak, tuna, avocado, and greens, to the crunch melt, which wraps tempura shrimp with cucumber, avocado, and cream cheese, and tops it with mozzarella.

If you're dining with a big party, consider splitting a sushi boat, which brings a variety of rolls to your table atop a small wooden plate shaped like a boat.
