For decades, he's been as renowned for sushi and Japanese seafood (including his iconic and often-imitated Black Cod with Miso) as he is for partnering with actor Robert DeNiro on luxury hotels with impeccable room service. Born in Japan, the chef opened his first restaurant in Lima, Peru, and developed expertise in both Japanese and Peruvian cuisines, making him a maestro of beef tenderloin and sashimi alike. Here are recipes for a few of Matsuhisa's signature dishes to make at home while you're waiting for your reservation at one of the 50 Nobu restaurants around the world. 01 of 05 Nobu-Style Sashimi Spoons Courtesy of Nobu Restaurants Properly cut, well-sourced fish is the secret to the best sashimi flavor and texture.
