About
SUGARFISH by Sushi Nozawa opened in Studio City in 2012, returning Kazunori Nozawa's sushi philosophy to the Valley neighborhood where he operated his original restaurant for 27 years. The Trust Me format scales Nozawa's strict approach — warm rice, seasonal nigiri, no California rolls — into a set-price omakase accessible to a broad audience.
