Nobu Matsuhisa

Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, known to the world as Nobu, is the acclaimed and highly influential chef of Nobu and Matsuhisa restaurants.

Nobu traces his professional ambition to the day his older brother took him to a sushi restaurant for the first time. He knew he was destined for a career in the kitchen.

After school, Nobu spent seven years working in a Tokyo sushi restaurant, before accepting an offer to open a restaurant in Lima. Weaving Peruvian influences into his dishes, this was the creation of his signature style.

A decade later, Nobu opened Matsuhisa in L.A. to rave reviews and instant success. It was here that his longtime friendship and business relationship with Robert De Niro began. At De Niro’s urging, they opened Nobu in New York City in 1994 – it too was an instant hit.

Crown Melbourne Restaurant Nobu Chef Joshua Bedell Biography

Head Chef Joshua Bedell

Over an 18-year career, Joshua Bedell has crafted signature dishes in Japanese, Chinese and French fusion restaurants across two continents. He now joins the exceptional Nobu, Melbourne as Head Chef.

While Bedell is fluent in Norwegian, French, Spanish, and Chinese cuisines, it was the clean, simple flavours of Japanese food that have most influenced his cooking philosophy. “Japanese cuisine drew me to the culinary world with its simplicity and aesthetics. Those principles are the guiding ethos in every household and dining table in Japan.”

Bedell isn’t one to rest on his laurels. “I am always trying to push forward and have the tendency to be apathetic for the dishes I have created in the past.” With such unrelenting ambition, we’re excited to see what culinary experiences he will bring his guests at Nobu.
