Keynote Speaker: Pioneering Japanese-Peruvian Chef & Restaurateur; Founder of Nobu Restaurant Group; Michelin Star-Awarded Chef

Nobu Matsuhisa Biography

Nobu Matsuhisa is a Japanese chef and restaurateur known for his fusion of traditional Japanese cuisine with Peruvian ingredients. Matsuhisa is recognized as the founder of the global "Nobu" restaurant group, which has influenced contemporary dining with signature dishes such as Black Cod with Miso. His culinary career began with training as a sushi chef in Tokyo, followed by formative years in Peru, where he developed the distinctive style that defines his work.

"Matsuhisa Beverly Hills" is historically significant as his first restaurant, while other locations are praised for specific reasons, like the "Nobu on 57th Street" in New York City for its fusion style or the "Nobu Bangkok" for being the world's highest and largest.

Matsuhisa opened his first restaurant, "Matsuhisa," in Los Angeles, establishing a reputation among both celebrities and food enthusiasts. The success of this restaurant led to a partnership with actor Robert De Niro and the opening of the first "Nobu" restaurant in New York. The Nobu brand has since expanded to include restaurants and luxury hotels in major cities worldwide, positioning Matsuhisa as a leader in the global hospitality industry.

Beyond his restaurant ventures, Matsuhisa has appeared on television programs and in films such as "Casino" and "Memoirs of a Geisha." He is the author of several cookbooks, including "Nobu: The Cookbook" and "Nobu Now," which detail his culinary techniques and philosophy. Matsuhisa is frequently invited to speak at international food festivals and industry events, sharing insights on Japanese-Peruvian cuisine and restaurant management.

Matsuhisa's work has been recognized with awards, including Michelin stars for several restaurants and honors from culinary organizations. He has discussed the challenges of adapting to new cultures and overcoming early business setbacks, experiences that have shaped his approach to the restaurant industry. Matsuhisa's influence continues to impact chefs and hospitality professionals worldwide.
