Nobuyuki Matsuhisa

Nobuyuki Matsuhisa was born in Saitama, Japan, and trained
as a sushi chef at Matsuei Sushi in Tokyo. After running
restaurants in Peru, Argentina, and Alaska, Nobu opened his
first restaurant, Matsuhisa, in Beverly Hills in 1987. Six
years later, Robert de Niro persuaded him to open Nobu in
New York. There are now thirteen Nobu restaurants all over
the world—in New York, Los Angeles, Malibu, Aspen, Las
Vegas, London, Milan, and Tokyo. He currently lives in
Beverly Hills.
