Chef Naomi Kubo serves as the “Fish Maestro'' for the Tatsu-Ya group and manages the raw departments for Tiki Tatsu-Ya and Kemuri Tatsu-Ya.

California, where she began her sushi career, quickly realizing her skills in fish
fabrication and differentiating seafood products.

Over the years, Kubo has focused on bettering her craft by working with acclaimed chefs and restaurants. Before serving in her current position at Tatsu-Ya, Kubo worked at Uchi from 2017 through 2017, where she was promoted to second lead sushi chef.

Prior to moving to Austin, Texas, Kubo also spent time working as a line cook at Juniper
