Experience

  1. Nisei Shokunin - Corporate Executive Chef, Equity Partner

    Pinku Japanese Street Food

    Nov 2014 — Present · Minneapolis, MN, US

    John Sugimura is executive chef, concept-brand director, and partner at PinKU Japanese Street Food in Minneapolis and at MSP Airport. He is a second-generation Japanese-American professionally trained sushi chef, whose life-long love of sushi blossomed during time spent in Kyoto, Japan. Eating John’s cuisine is like eating in his grandmother’s restaurant in the 1930s. It is the ultimate expression of flavors, colors, and cooking methods, coming together in an authentic experience that is one-of-a-kind.
