About The Chef

Ju-I (Joo-Ee) is a private chef and lifelong student of the culinary arts, trained by her father and later at the now-defunct Tsubasa.

For the last decade, Ju-I and her husband, Nam, have traveled the world exploring flavor, with a particular focus on the intricacies of Japanese cuisine. That passion drives her atelier, The Backhouse, where she pursues the freshest ingredients and avant-garde flavor.

Ju-I spotlights premium fish flown fresh from Japan, using techniques like dry aging to bring a premium sushi experience to the Bay Area.
