Full Job Description

About Yugen

Yugen is a new Japanese sushi destination opening in Silverthorne — a nigiri-focused counter housed inside a one-of-a-kind venue. The 90-seat space pairs serious sushi with craft cocktails, racing simulators, and a gaming lounge. The food stands on its own. Our ambition is for guests to come for the energy and leave talking about the fish.

We are nigiri-focused by design — no rolls, no composed plates. The discipline is the point. Every piece has to earn its spot. We're hiring a Head Sushi Chef to own that program from day one.

The role

You'll run the 8-seat sushi counter as your domain. You're the chef behind the bar, the menu architect, and the standard-setter for everything that crosses the counter. The cocktail program is run by a separate Bar Manager — you own the sushi side end-to-end.

You'll be responsible for

Designing and executing the nigiri menu — selection, seasonal rotation, daily specials
Sourcing premium fish and ingredients; building direct relationships with suppliers and distributors
Developing and maintaining our rice program — the foundation of everything we serve
Working with ownership on pricing, cost controls, and menu changes
Maintaining cleanliness, prep workflow, and food safety standards
Being a visible presence at the counter — guests sit directly in front of you

What we're looking for

5+ years of sushi / Japanese cuisine experience, with meaningful time as a lead or sole chef
Mastery of nigiri fundamentals — rice, fish selection, butchery, single-bite composition
A point of view on shari (rice) — temperature, seasoning, texture — and the confidence to defend it
Strong supplier relationships or the network and skill to build them
A chef who takes ownership and runs their own program without hand-holding
Calm, professional presence behind the counter — you're part of the guest experience
Conversational English required

Bonus

Japanese language skills
Sake and shochu knowledge
Direct relationships with fish suppliers (Tsukiji/Toyosu, True World, Greenfish, ABS, etc.)
Personal interest in any of our venue's themes — automotive, professional racing (F1, IMSA, WEC, NASCAR), sim racing, video games, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, or tabletop gaming. Our regulars will share these interests and we want a chef who can talk shop.

Compensation & relocation

$65,000–$75,000 annual salary DOE
$10,000 relocation stipend paid after first 3 months
Salary review after first year based on performance and growth
Genuine profit-sharing conversation as Yugen scales
Meals on shift and strong employee discount
Full ownership of your sushi program — this is your counter

Why Silverthorne, Colorado

We know — you're probably used to seeing sushi chef listings in Denver, Chicago, LA, or New York. So let us make the case for why Silverthorne might be the best move of your career.

Silverthorne sits at 9,000 feet in the heart of Summit County, surrounded by some of the most celebrated ski terrain in North America — Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are all within 20 minutes. But this isn't just a ski town. It's a growing, year-round community of people who came here for the mountain lifestyle and stayed because they love it.

What life here actually looks like:

World-class skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and fishing
A tight-knit hospitality community where standout chefs are recognized and celebrated
Lower cost of living than Vail or Aspen
Clean air, dramatic scenery, and zero traffic nightmares
A guest base of well-traveled foodies from Denver and beyond, hungry for exactly what Yugen offers

The bigger picture

Yugen is a new concept, which means the chef who joins us now gets something most chefs spend their career chasing: the chance to build a program from scratch. Your menu. Your counter. Your rice. Your fish. Your standards. If you've ever wanted to shape a destination sushi program rather than execute someone else's, this is it.

To apply

Send a resume and a sample list of 10 nigiri pieces you'd put on opening menu — fish, cut, any seasoning or accent, and one sentence on why each one.

Pay: $65,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Flexible schedule
Relocation assistance

Work Location: In person
