Benshun Yu
Chef Benshun Yu began his culinary journey at the age of 16 in a traditional kaiseki restaurant. Rooted in seasonality and harmony, kaiseki-ryori is a refined expression of Japanese dining in which each course is thoughtfully composed to reveal the beauty and natural character of its ingredients.
His pursuit of Japanese cuisine has taken him across the United States, with time spent in kitchens from San Francisco and Las Vegas to Philadelphia and Miami. Along the way, he developed a culinary style guided by simplicity, precision, and an appreciation for thoughtful presentation.
His experience includes Shibuya at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Morimoto in Philadelphia, and The Ritz-Carlton in California. At Zama Omakase, Chef Benshun draws upon those experiences to create a personal expression of Japanese cuisine—one shaped by the seasons, the ingredients at hand, and the quiet details of each course.
