The Chef

Chef Hiroshi Tanaka

Executive Chef & Owner

Chef Hiroshi trained under sushi master Jiro Ono in Tokyo for eight years before opening KIMI in 2012. His philosophy centers on simplicity, seasonal precision, and respect for the ingredients.

Every piece of fish is selected personally at auction, aged in our custom cedar boxes, and served at the exact temperature that unlocks its full character. KIMI is not a restaurant — it is a ritual.

"KIMI is the finest Japanese restaurant I have experienced outside of Japan. The otoro was extraordinary — a depth of flavor I did not know was possible in this city. Chef Hiroshi's pacing, plating, and conversation at the counter made the evening genuinely unforgettable."

"My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at KIMI. The private counter was worth every dollar. Chef Hiroshi prepared a custom menu around our dietary preferences and the sake pairing was impeccably chosen. We were treated like we were the only guests in the world."

"The tonkotsu ramen alone is worth the trip. I have eaten ramen across three continents and this is the best I have ever had. The broth is silky, complex, and deeply satisfying. Everything on the menu I have tried has been exceptional. KIMI is our family's restaurant."
