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]
History
[edit]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]
Menu
[edit]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]
