- Manage ingredient sourcing, stock, and wastage, and help keep costs in check

- Maintain food safety, hygiene, and fire and gas safety standards

- Taste, adjust, and protect the quality of every bowl that goes out

What we're looking for

- 3+ years of professional kitchen experience

- Robust grounding in Japanese cooking, especially broths and noodle dishes

- Availability for evening and weekend shifts

- Hands-on ramen, gyoza, or fresh-noodle experience

- Vegetarian Japanese cooking skills
