About Hashiri

"Hashiri" means "the start of the season" — the moment an ingredient reaches its peak, or "shun." That philosophy has defined our restaurant since we opened, and it earned Hashiri San Francisco Michelin recognition for three consecutive years (2017–2019). We're part of a small, respected family of Hashiri restaurants spanning San Francisco, Tokyo, and New York, and we're now reopening our San Francisco location — and we're building the kitchen team that will lead it into its next chapter.  We're looking for a Head Chef to run day-to-day kitchen operations, lead a small team, and help carry the seasonal, ingredient-driven philosophy that Hashiri is known for.

What You'll Do

• Lead and coordinate kitchen operations during prep and service
• Maintain the quality, consistency, and presentation standards Hashiri is known for
• Train and mentor kitchen team members
• Contribute to menu and recipe development alongside leadership
• Manage ordering, inventory, portioning, and food-waste control
• Oversee opening/closing procedures and day-to-day kitchen flow

What We're Looking For

• At least 3 years of professional restaurant or commercial kitchen experience in a leadership or lead-cook capacity
• Japanese cuisine experience preferred, not required — we welcome chefs from fine dining, modern, or fusion backgrounds ready to grow into traditional sushi and sukiyaki technique
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, team-oriented kitchen
• Flexible availability, including evenings and weekends

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on training in traditional sushi and sukiyaki technique from a team with three consecutive years of Michelin recognition
• A voice in menu and recipe development from day one
• As Hashiri continues to grow across our San Francisco, Tokyo, and New York locations, strong performance in this role opens the door to broader leadership opportunities within the group

Benefits: PTO and staff meal included (specific details to be finalized).
