About
Tucked into downtown Los Altos, Hiroshi is defined by its depth of Japanese culinary heritage: owner Daiji Uehara (Tokyo), executive chef Tetsuya Ozaki (Osaka, 30+ years experience), and chefs from Tottori and Kyushu together form a chef team whose credentials are purely Japanese. Fish is flown in directly from Toyosu Market in Tokyo, including rare cuts like Bluefin hoho (cheek), Hokkaido uni, Botan prawns, and seasonal white fish. The tasting experience includes a rotating 12-piece nigiri omakase, a premium Wagyu supplement featuring A5 katsu sando, sukiyaki, and yakiniku, and finishing touches of sencha and house-made dessert. The room itself — a single-piece wooden counter, kiriko crystal glasses, daily ikebana arrangements, and a waterfall wall — is one of the most carefully curated Japanese fine-dining environments outside Japan.
Neighborhood & visiting

Hiroshi sits in Los Altos, one of San Francisco'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.

Why it's on Washoku Guide
  • An all-Japan chef team with fish sourced directly from Tokyo's Toyosu Market ensures the highest standards of Edomae technique.
  • The A5 Wagyu supplement course — katsu sando, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and yakiniku — is a rare opportunity to explore Wagyu in multiple preparations in one sitting.
  • Daily ikebana flower arrangements, kiriko crystal glassware, and a waterfall wall create the most Japanese-designed dining room on the Peninsula.
  • Fish like Bluefin hoho, hairy crab from Hokkaido, and seasonal nodoguro rarely appear on menus outside Japan — Hiroshi sources them weekly.

Reservations are required and timed at 5:30, 7:00, and 8:30 p.m.; book well in advance at hiroshi328.com.
