Following last year’s unforgettable visit, we’re delighted to welcome Chef Endo back to share his inventive approach and refined techniques with our guests.

Chef Endo's journey to becoming a celebrated sushi chef is as unique as it is inspiring. Though his father was a sushi chef, Endo initially left Japan to pursue college in the U.K. and train as a professional footballer. This time abroad gave him a fresh perspective on his own culture and deepened his appreciation for Japanese food traditions.

 

Returning to Japan, Endo trained under the renowned chef Takashi Saito at the three Michelin-starred Sushi Saito in Tokyo. This prestigious training laid a strong foundation for Endo's culinary career.

 

After his training, Endo opened his own restaurant, Ebisu Endo, which quickly became one of Japan's top sushi destinations. Known for his unique take on classics like eel, sea bream, tuna, and squid, Endo is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional sushi.

 

"Learning history is important, but following in the exact footsteps of my predecessors is a waste of time," says Endo. "We can find answers by looking back in history, but we must forge our own paths."

 

With experience at top-class restaurants like Sushi Mizutani in Ginza and Sushi Saito, Endo has built a successful career and an invaluable network of supporters, helping him craft his own distinctive culinary style.

 

We invite you to experience these evenings with Chef Endo, where every detail reflects his unique perspective on sushi.
