Nobu Matsuhisa was born in Saitama, Japan, in 1949 and trained as a sushi chef in Tokyo. In the 1970s he worked in Peru, where local ingredients shaped the style he later became famous for.

He opened Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills in 1987. In 1994 he opened Nobu in New York with partners including the actor Robert De Niro.

Dishes such as black cod with miso and yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño are closely associated with his restaurants, which now operate in many cities around the world.
