Following Beverly Hills Sushi Club, Stamp and Matsuhisa followed-up with the launch of Aspen Sushi Club, transporting the ‘Sushi Club’ lifestyle to Aspen’s outdoor-centric culture where Matsuhisa also operates a restaurant.

In 1987, the ambitious sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa opened his first restaurant in Beverly Hills, bringing his inspired blend of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine to the public. When Matsuhisa’s doors first opened, a silhouette of Nobu was painted behind the sushi bar. The smoky grey profile of a 38 year old Nobu is still there 30 years later, and has become the logo to his ever expanding legacy.
Although his flagship still retains the low key décor from day one, it is distinguished by its skilled staff and an enormous menu packed with peerless dishes. Matsuhisa not only represents dining at its finest, it is the foundation of a culinary empire that is still growing today.
