About
Nozawa Bar opened in 2013 as Kazunori Nozawa's prestige omakase concept, honoring the legacy of his original Studio City sushi restaurant (1987–2012). Chef Jay Sada took over the counter in July 2025 from Osamu Fujita, who helmed the room for twelve years. The restaurant has held one Michelin star since 2019 and ranks in the OAD Top 130 North America.
Neighborhood & visiting
Nozawa Bar sits in Beverly Hills, one of Los Angeles's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
