Executive Sushi Chef in the Nobu family, Chef Ryo Hasegawa is known for his creativity and unbelievable visual presentation skills. While he makes it look effortless, Chef Hasegawa has actually been perfecting his inventive approach since his youth in Niigata, Japan, where his culinary curiosity inspired him to begin training at his uncle’s sushi restaurant at age 18.
