Nisei by David Yoshimura is a restaurant in San Francisco, California. [1] [2] [3] [4] It was awarded its first Michelin star in the 2022 Michelin Guide. [5]
The restaurant opened in August 2021. [2] Six months after the restaurant opening, it earned a Michelin star. [6] The chef-owner is David Yoshimura. [7] Yoshimura also won the Michelin guide's Young Chef Award for California. [8] [9] Next door is Bar Iris, the sister cocktail bar to Nisei which serves high end Japanese influenced cocktails. [10] [11]
At its inception, the menu at Nisei was based in washoku style Japanese cuisine, but later evolved into refined, modern Japanese American cuisine. [12] The menu focuses on using only the best products from Northern California, sophisticated cooking methods, and intense Japanese flavors. [13] It has 10-course tasting menu, but if counting on each item individually, it's more likely to 17 different tastes. [14] Nisei is a personal reflection of chef Yoshimura's unique experience as a chef and Nisei (second-generation Japanese American). [15]
