ABOUT CHEF

Chef Masato Shimizu's journey through sushi began when he saw his uncle filleting a whole tuna in front of him when he was 5. His interest in the art of sushi grew and eventually inspired him to move to Tokyo for a seven-year apprenticeship at Sukeroku under the sushi master Kugou Rikio

It began in his home country, Japan before he decided to take on a new challenge by moving to New York City. While working at Jewel Bako as a head chef, he was the youngest chef who had been honored with a Michelin star in New York City by the age of 29. In 2006, he left Jewel Bako to partner up with Marco Moreira to open 15 East Restaurant which was awarded one Michelin Star. After marrying his Thai-Japanese wife, Masato moved to Bangkok to open his own restaurant, Sushi Masato, where he takes care of every single detail from lights in a room to the food on a plate to ensure that his customers gain the absolute best dining experience.
