I bring 30+ years of Japanese head-chef experience to your table, creating sushi and Japanese cuisine that makes people happy.

Noboru Kikuchi

I create authentic Japanese sushi experiences that make people healthy and happy.

I have over 30 years of experience as a head chef in restaurants across Japan, including traditional Japanese restaurants, inns, and izakayas. In 2016, I moved to the United States to share the wonders of Japanese cuisine and sushi with more people.

My English is still not very good, but I can always communicate what matters most—delicious food. I cook with care and consistency so every meal feels welcoming, memorable, and joyful.

For me, the kitchen is a place where I can combine new challenges with a sense of playfulness.

Why my food feels personal, honest, and memorable.

I cook to support health and happiness.

I believe cooking can make people healthy and happy, so I focus on balance, freshness, and flavors that feel good—both in the moment and after the meal.

I cook with deep roots in Japanese culture.

Through my years in Japan, I learned Japanese culture, traditions, and history, and I bring that understanding into the way I prepare, season, and present each dish.

I keep my craft playful and open to new challenges.

For me, the kitchen is where I combine new challenges with a sense of playfulness, so every experience stays lively while still honoring tradition.

Noboru's Menus

I offer sushi-focused omakase experiences, from colorful nigiri and rolls to multi-course kaiseki-style menus. I tailor the flow of the meal to your group so you can relax and enjoy each course.
