Owners of San Antonio's Up Scale, Little Em's to launch sushi concept in September

The owners of popular Southtown eateries Little Em’s Oyster Bar and Up Scale have set a Sept. 27 opening update for new sushi concept Nineteen Hyaku. Located inside the Jefferson Bank tower at 1900 Broadway, Nineteen Hyaku will showcase a range of sushi offerings along with an omakase menu — that is, a menu of items selected by the chef making use of seasonal ingredients — plus items grilled on a traditional charcoal-fired Japanese robata grill. If news of the spot's formal launch sounds eerily familiar, you’re not experiencing déjà vu — owners Houston and Emily Carpenter first announced summer and early October opening dates before settling on Sept. 27.
