Executive chef: J. Trent Harris
Mujō is a one MICHELIN star modern edomae-style Sushiya led by Executive Chef J. Trent Harris. We are inspired by the Japanese concept of ichi-go ichi-e, 一期一会, or one time, one meeting. Our goal is not to be a traditional sushiya, but rather to create an experience that represents who and where we are, while respecting and honoring tradition.
