  • Professional demeanor with excellent communication and hospitality skills
Skills, Abilities & Experience:
  • 2+ years of experience working in a sushi restaurant or high-level Japanese culinary environment
  • Experience with catering, events, omakase, or interactive dining experiences is strongly preferred
  • Previous New York City restaurant experience is a plus, but not required
  • Candidates with strong hospitality instincts and a warm, guest-centric approach are highly encouraged to apply
