Job Description

OUR CLIENT is a modern luxury dining concept created by a world-renowned two Michelin-starred chef in partnership with a prestigious hospitality group. The establishment exquisitely blends centuries-old Japanese techniques with contemporary creativity to deliver an immersive and refined dining experience. Inspired by Tokyo's iconic Golden Gai district and deeply rooted in the philosophy of omotenashi, the Japanese art of hospitality, OUR CLIENT stands as a beacon of culinary excellence and cultural authenticity in the modern luxury restaurant scene. The setting offers not only a meal but also a meticulously crafted experience that celebrates tradition while pushing culinary boundaries through innovation and presentation. This emphasis on craftsmanship and hospitality positions OUR CLIENT among the top-tier dining destinations, attracting discerning guests who seek an extraordinary blend of flavor, artistry, and personalized service.

The role of the Omakase Sushi Chef at OUR CLIENT is a highly specialized and prestigious position that demands mastery of traditional Edomae sushi skills and an impeccable execution of chef-driven omakase menus. This dynamic position requires not only advanced technical expertise in knife skills, fish butchery, and rice preparation but also a refined sense for pacing, presentation, and guest engagement at the sushi counter. The chef will be responsible for crafting exquisite nigiri, sashimi, and composed plates aligned with Michelin standards, ensuring each dish maintains precise rice temperature, seasoning balance, and optimal texture. Beyond culinary craftsmanship, this role places a strong emphasis on operational excellence, including maintaining highest food safety standards and station organization.

In addition to the culinary and operational responsibilities, the Omakase Sushi Chef will act as a direct point of connection with guests, exemplifying omotenashi by offering a tailored, respectful, and engaging dining experience. Collaboration with kitchen and front-of-house teams is also essential to maintain harmony, uphold Japanese culinary traditions, and support a culture of discipline and professionalism within the restaurant. Embracing this role offers chefs an exceptional opportunity to work in one of the world’s most influenced modern Japanese dining brands, enhancing their skills, contributing to innovative menu development, and participating in an inspiring culinary journey that celebrates the rich heritage and evolving artistry of Japanese cuisine. Employment type is full-time, with schedules that include nights, weekends, and holidays, reflecting the nature of the luxury dining industry. This role is ideal for those committed to continuous improvement and exceptional culinary craftsmanship in a high-end setting.
