Chef & Story

Kenji Matsuda Executive Chef & Owner

Chef Kenji Matsuda grew up along the Sea of Japan in Kanazawa, a city revered for its seafood culture and quiet refinement. He trained under a master itamae in Kyoto for seven years before moving to New York in 2012.

After stints at two Michelin-starred restaurants in Manhattan, Kenji opened Hana in 2018 with a single intention: twelve seats, one chef, total presence. Every piece served reflects the season, the source, and a stillness that is rare in a city this loud.

He believes omakase is not a meal but a conversation — between the guest's palate, the day's fish, and the chef's instinct.

Omakase means "I leave it to you." I take that trust seriously every single night.
