The Journey of
Sushi 715
Sushi 715 is a Michelin-starred omakase restaurant located in the heart of Los Angeles’ Arts District, where heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary expression come together in an intimate dining experience.
At the center of 715 is Chef Seigo Tamura, a third-generation sushi chef born in Sakai City, Osaka. Raised in a family where sushi was both livelihood and legacy, Seigo spent his childhood watching his grandfather work behind the counter of a neighborhood sushi restaurant. Each New Year, his grandfather would bring that spirit home, preparing sushi by hand for the family, tailoring every piece to their preferences while sharing stories that lingered long after the meal ended. These moments shaped Seigo’s understanding of sushi not only as a culinary craft, but as a personal, heartfelt form of connection.
After years of traditional training in Japan and a brief detour in the U.S. pursuing a basketball career, Seigo found his true calling in returning to his roots. He launched Sushi 715 in Los Angeles during the pandemic—starting with humble Instagram-based bento offerings—and quickly earned a loyal following. Within just three months of opening the counter, Sushi 715 was awarded a Michelin One Star, a distinction it has now held for three consecutive years. The Michelin Guide praises the restaurant’s consistent excellence, the finesse of its 22-course omakase, and its thoughtful approach to aging and sourcing premium seafood from Japan. This level of recognition is a testament to Chef Seigo’s dedication, technical skill, and personal touch.
Sushi 715 offers just 12 seats at its minimalist counter, creating an atmosphere that is both focused and relaxed. The menu changes frequently, featuring delicately aged fish, thoughtfully composed rice blends, and natural sake pairings. The space itself reflects Chef Seigo’s modern sensibility, with subtle nods to Japanese culture and a soundtrack of Japanese hip-hop underscoring the restaurant’s youthful energy.
To Seigo, sushi is more than food—it’s a way of storytelling and building community. Sushi 715 is a reflection of that belief: a space rooted in tradition, inspired by family, and constantly evolving through collaboration with artists and creatives from around the world. From Osaka to Los Angeles, every course at Sushi 715 is an invitation to experience sushi from the heart—crafted with intention, served with sincerity, and remembered long after the final bite.
