Create a Sushi Experience That Rivals the Best in the World

This isn’t another sushi bar gig. This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-concept sushi program at the intersection of art, story, and discipline—where the counter is your stage, and every cut, brush, and gesture speaks.

We’re seeking a visionary Executive Sushi Chef to helm an omakase-focused program inspired by the highest international standards—think World’s 50 Best, Michelin-tier hospitality, and the meticulous soul of Edomae tradition.

You’ll take full ownership of the sushi operation: aging fish with intention, orchestrating flavor with restraint, and delivering an experience that whispers elegance without compromise.

What You’ll Own

• Full control of all sushi operations—nigiri, sashimi, maki, and curated omakase service
• Development of seasonal menus that blend craftsmanship, story, and restraint
• Mastery of aging techniques: shime, kobujime, yubiki, jukusei
• Precise management of premium seafood inventory, cost controls, and vendor sourcing
• Hygiene, sanitation, and product quality at the highest global standards
• Direct guest engagement across the counter in Japanese and English
• Training, mentoring, and elevating the next generation of sushi professionals
• Collaboration with ownership and culinary leadership on experience, sourcing, and creative direction

You Bring

• 10+ years in elite sushi kitchens, including Michelin-starred or World's 50 Best-level restaurants
• Mastery of Edomae fundamentals: rice, fish prep, knife skills, and seasonality
• Polished presence and communication when interacting with VIP clientele
• Deep fluency in Japanese culinary tradition, regional seafood, and etiquette
• Bilingual fluency in English and Japanese
• Calm under pressure, with a focus on structure, standards, and mentoring
• Relentless attention to detail—and a genuine love for the craft

Why This Role Stands Out

• Autonomy and influence in a kitchen built for purity and precision
• Access to exceptional seafood, tools, and sourcing relationships
• Collaborative leadership team that values both innovation and integrity
• Relocation support and performance-based incentives
• The chance to build your legacy in one of the most dynamic culinary cities in the U.S.
