Chef/Owner Sang Hyun Lee was born and raised in South Korea, and moved to Boston on September 11th 2001. Chef Lee started working at a sushi bar in and around the Boston area  then moved to NYC in 2005 and trained under chef Yoshi at Akari. A few years later Lee decided to move back to Boston and trained under chef Kung at Oishii Too in Sudbury, MA. After Oishii Too he worked as a head chef at various Japanese restaurants around Boston area.

Chef Lee moved to Gloucester, MA in the summer of 2012 to run a sushi bar at the Madfish Grille in Rocky Neck. That summer chef Lee met his wife Elena Lee and Gloucester became his forever home. A few years later Chef Lee took a head chef position at a new restaurant Sen Sakana in midtown Manhattan. After a successful opening with a New York Times review by Pete Wells , Chef Lee made the transition to Shuko NYC, to experience the top level Omakase sushi bar in the city under Chef Nick Kim(a former head chef at Masa,NY).

After the precious experience at Shuko, Chef Lee has finally returned  home to Gloucester, MA to  share the Gloucester/Edomae sushi that allows the guest to taste the maximum potential of Japanese and New England seafood.
