Japanese cuisine experience is preferred, but not required. We welcome chefs from fine dining, modern, contemporary, and fusion backgrounds who are interested in expanding their culinary skills while working with both traditional Japanese techniques and modern approaches.

Our restaurant previously received Michelin recognition for three consecutive years. As we begin this new chapter, we are building a team that values quality, craftsmanship, creativity, teamwork, and professional growth.

This is an opportunity to develop a broad range of culinary skills—from traditional Japanese cuisine and classic preparation methods to modern techniques and contemporary/fusion-style approaches.

Prior Japanese cuisine experience is welcome, but not required. Candidates with at least 1 year of professional restaurant or commercial kitchen experience are encouraged to apply.

Full-time, shift-based schedule. Daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday availability may be required based on restaurant operations.

Compensation and working conditions will be administered in accordance with applicable California and local employment laws.
