Shunji Nakao left Japan well equipped as a master sushi chef and descended upon Los Angeles in 1984. He soon started working along side Matsuhisa Nobu until 1987 when Matsuhisa Nobu opened up his own place called Matsuhisa located in Beverly Hills and that’s when Shunji and his brother Tetsuya joined in to open up this new restaurant with their friend. Shunji and his brother Tetsuya were 2 of 4 sushi chefs that worked at the very first restaurant owned by Matsuhisa, and as they say, the rest is history.
