i. Biography
Tsuyoshi Murakami has been chef of Murakami in São Paulo, Brazil, since 2019. The role rests on years of restaurant work where technique is built through repetition, service, and the discipline of keeping standards intact night after night. At Murakami, that background shows up as measured control rather than display.
Where They Are Now
Early in his career, Tsuyoshi Murakami worked at Ozushi, then at Shabu Shabu, Kiyokata, and Kinoshita. Taken together, those kitchens read as a steady accumulation of practice: each one added another layer to the habits that matter in the trade, including precision, restraint, and consistency. Ozushi began that foundation, while Shabu Shabu, Kiyokata, and Kinoshita extended it through the daily demands of service. By 2019, Tsuyoshi Murakami had already spent years inside that rhythm, and becoming chef of Murakami in São Paulo formalized what the earlier kitchens had been building. The progression from one restaurant to the next shows a career shaped by continuity rather than flash, with the work itself carrying the argument. As chef of Murakami, he brought that accumulated discipline into a named house. What is notable in Tsuyoshi Murakami’s path is the consistency of the training ground: Ozushi, Shabu Shabu, Kiyokata, and Kinoshita each mark a stage in a career formed in kitchens where order and exactness matter. Since 2019, Murakami in São Paulo, Brazil has been the place where that groundwork has been put to use in a leadership role.
