About

Nisei is a testament to Chef David Yoshimura's Japanese-American heritage. Their tasting menu is based on modern California Washoku cuisine. Washoku means "harmony of food," and is also referred to as the "home cooking" of Japan. Stop by for an all-around excellent and unforgettable dining experience!

  • Went for a collaboration dinner with a major ingredient producer and local sake producer and Nisei. Fun and interesting seeing how flavors contrasted and blended together for each dish experience.
