“With kaiseki, I can cook in many ways and follow the season,” says Chef Atsushi. “My hope is that guests feel comfortable, enjoy each part of the meal, and feel the thought we put into every dish.”

Born in Iwate, Japan, Chef Atsushi’s culinary approach draws from his Japanese heritage and two decades of international experience in Japan, Canada, and the United States.

Chef Atsushi brings a distinguished background as Executive Chef of Miami Beach’s one-Michelin-star Den, where he earned Michelin stars in 2022 and 2023, and previously at Kenzo Restaurant in Napa Valley, where he earned the restaurant’s first star in 2017.
