Chef Yoshikazu Ebina (aka Kazu) is a 25-year veteran of the hospitality industry from Tokyo. He was a sushi sous chef at Michelin-starred the Den at Azabu, and has also done stints at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami and Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Colorado.
The omakase bar is hidden through a door in the back of Hachidori Ramen, and diners will receive a personal code to access the space.
Hachidori opened in 2020, inspired by its owners’ honeymoon travels to Japan.
Omakase by Kazu is open Tuesday through Saturday, and has seatings at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.
