The Venue

Imagine you're in Tokyo, dining at an enclave of modern Japanese expression. At the centre of a huge marble bar, you watch as the talented chefs use a medley of modern and age-old techniques. Our chefs prepare each dish in front of you precisely turning fresh fish into edible works of art.

Adjoining the chic cocktail lounge Hemmesphere on Establishment's fourth floor, Sushi e is one of the few authentic sushi bars in Sydney and enjoys a dedicated following of sushi fans around the world.

The Role

We are looking for a Sous Chef who comes with a good understanding of Japanese cuisine and an eye for detail. Sushi e currently offers 3 menus A la carte, Omakase (Tues-Thurs evenings) and a tasting menu.

Larger plates include koji marinated toothfish cooked over charcoal and soba noodles doused in crab dashi, nori butter and bottarga.
