New Chapter as Sushi Suhama
The name Suhama comes from an ancient Japanese term referring to a beautiful or picturesque shoreline. For the restaurant, Suhama evokes the natural shoreline that defines Newport Beach, creating a connection between Japanese culture and the coastal setting that has been part of the restaurant's identity since opening. While the name is new, Sushi Suhama remains an evolution of the restaurant guests have come to know, continuing its commitment to seasonality, craftsmanship, and traditional Japanese culinary technique. The intimate setting, culinary team, and commitment to traditional Japanese technique that have defined the restaurant remain at the heart of Sushi Suhama. Since opening, the restaurant has been recognized by the MICHELIN Guide six times, a distinction Sushi Suhama carries with it into this next chapter.
Taste the 200-Year Tradition
Sushi Suhama is headed by Chef Koji Takahashi, a master of the traditional art of sushi, which dates back nearly 200 years in Japan. To highlight the artistry and exceptional quality of the traditional sushi, we’ve created a minimalist zen setting to provide an experience that is normally available only in Japan, but which we hope to see more of in the U.S.
Artistry
In Japanese cuisine, a change in the smallest detail, such as how the fish or even vegetables are cut, can alter the flavor of that ingredient. To achieve the highest quality, Chef Takahashi has honed his knife technique and the nuances of his craft over three decades. He further enhances the taste of the fish by varying his “nigirikata” — the way a sushi chef shapes each piece — mastering the details, the Japanese way.
