San Francisco records now show Alba Z Sf Corp behind Hakashi’s Third Street sushi room, while an older city record shows the same DBA and address dating to 2018.

The Third Street room diners know as Hakashi now has a 2026 corporation attached to it in San Francisco’s business file. In city registration data (external source, opens in a new tab), Alba Z Sf Corp is listed for the Hakashi Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill DBA, with both the DBA and location start dated Jan. 2, 2026. The address is 474 3rd St., just north of Bryant in SoMa.

That record should not be read as a new-opening notice. The same city search also shows Towa No Makoto, Inc. using the Hakashi Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill name at the same address, with a start date of May 7, 2018. The file gives the useful fact and leaves the human one unresolved: a second entity is now tied to the restaurant, but the public record does not say whether the change was a transfer, a restructuring, or paperwork catching up to an existing operation.

The chef presented to customers is Julio Zapata. Hakashi’s website (external source, opens in a new tab) calls Zapata the owner and executive chef, says he has more than 20 years of sushi experience, and builds the pitch around a chef-guided omakase service with a wider menu of nigiri, sashimi, specialty rolls, hot dishes, appetizers, and drinks. The site lists lunch and dinner daily: lunch begins at 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and Sunday, noon Saturday, and dinner runs until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The everyday menu is the clearest read on price. Hakashi’s posted menu (external source, opens in a new tab) lists lunch sets from $14 for ten-don to $35 for chirashi or sashimi lunch, hand rolls mostly at $10 to $11, specialty rolls from $14 to $21, and hot dishes from $20 to $26. Appetizers move higher, including charred octopus at $22, wagyu bone marrow at $26.50, and lobster risotto at $32. The official menu page available before filing did not document a fixed omakase price, and the site does not publish a seat count.

This is a smaller story than an opening, but it is the kind operators notice. Third Street between Moscone and the ballpark can give a restaurant strong nights and thin ones in the same month; knowing who is on the paper matters. For Hakashi, the current public picture is a long-running SoMa sushi bar, a new 2026 entity record, Zapata still out front, and several fundamentals of the transition still not spelled out.
