Full Job Description

Tenshou Collection is an intimate omakase collection bringing Japan's finest culinary traditions to the United States — the real Japan, as it's meant to be experienced.

Each counter is helmed by chefs drawn from Japan's top 100 restaurants, delivering an immersive, counter-only dining experience built on the art of omotenashi. From Edomae sushi to open-flame craft, every seat is a rare, close encounter with the true essence of Japanese cuisine.

Opening in West Hollywood and Las Vegas in 2026 followed by locations in New York. Tenshou Collection is assembling its founding teams now — culinary, front of house, and management. Be part of something exceptional.

Experience Japan, one seat at a time.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

The Sommelier at TENSHOU Collection is the architect of the beverage experience across the entire concept portfolio. You are not managing a wine list — you are curating an emotional arc that complements one of the most precise culinary programs in the world. Every pairing recommendation, every table interaction, every staff training session carries the weight of the guest experience from first sip to last.

You operate across multiple TENSHOU dining concepts — from Edomae omakase to Modern French, Robata, and Tempura — each with distinct flavor profiles, pacing, and guest expectations. Your depth in sake, Japanese spirits, and classical wine, paired with the interpersonal precision of omotenashi, is the foundation of this role.

Beverage Program Development

Curate and maintain wine, sake, shochu, Japanese whisky, and cocktail lists across assigned Tenshou Collection concepts — aligned with each restaurant's culinary identity, price positioning, and omakase course structure.
Develop seasonal pairings in direct collaboration with Head Chefs — your beverage program must enhance the culinary arc, not run parallel to it. Present pairing recommendations to culinary and FOH leadership before each menu cycle.
Maintain deep, working knowledge of sake grades (junmai, daiginjo, nigori, etc.), regional styles, brewing methods, and food pairing applications — specifically within Japanese cuisine contexts.
Source and evaluate new products regularly; build and maintain vendor and distributor relationships with integrity, discipline, and cost awareness.
Ensure beverage pricing is accurate, margin-positive, and reflects the luxury positioning of the Tenshou brand across all menus and placements.

Guest Experience & Floor Presence

Be present on the floor during service — present the beverage program, execute pairing recommendations, and engage guests with composure, expertise, and warmth.
Read each table with precision: know when to engage, when to give space, and how to personalize every interaction within the Tenshou omotenashi standard. The guest's comfort drives the timing.
Deliver beverage recommendations through storytelling — connect guests to the provenance, craft, and intention behind every selection. The story is part of the experience.
Address special requests, dietary needs, and alcohol-free pairing requirements with immediate, gracious, and well-prepared solutions. No guest should feel their request is an inconvenience.
Demonstrate Omiokuri awareness — your role in the guest's arc does not end when the glass is empty. From first pour to final goodbye, the beverage experience is yours to own.

Team Training & Development

Train and develop all FOH staff — servers, captains, and associates — on beverage fundamentals, pairing language, upselling approach, and proper service technique.
Conduct focused pre-shift beverage education for FOH staff; keep training specific, actionable, and tied directly to the evening's menu and guest expectations.
Develop and maintain training materials for the beverage program across all assigned concepts; ensure materials are current, concept-specific, and accessible.
Directly manage and develop the Assistant Sommelier — provide daily coaching, clear direction, structured development, and documented performance feedback per Company HR policy.

Inventory, Ordering & Cost Control

Manage all beverage inventory — ordering, receiving, storage, par levels, and loss control across all assigned locations. No critical out-of-stocks during service, ever.
Maintain beverage cost within Company-defined targets; report weekly and identify variances within the same reporting period. Cost management is a daily discipline.
Ensure proper storage conditions for all wine, sake, and spirits — temperature, humidity, rotation, and FIFO compliance without exception.
Negotiate with distributors and importers from a position of knowledge and market awareness; maintain vendor relationships with professionalism and clear communication.

Compliance & Licensing

Maintain full compliance with California ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) regulations and Nevada liquor licensing requirements at all locations where the role operates.
Monitor alcohol service on the floor — refuse service where required, document incidents, and maintain compliance logs per ABC and Nevada requirements.
Ensure all FOH staff are RBS-certified and current; track expiration dates and flag upcoming renewals proactively.
Support General Manager and AGM with liquor license compliance, audits, and renewals as needed. You are a resource for compliance — not just a practitioner.

QUALIFICATIONS

WSET Level 3 or higher, CMS Certified Sommelier, or equivalent recognized credential — required. Advanced or Master Sommelier designation strongly preferred.
Minimum 3+ years of sommelier experience in a fine dining or luxury hospitality environment; Japanese cuisine, omakase, or high-end Asian dining experience strongly preferred.
Deep working knowledge of sake — grades (junmai, ginjo, daiginjo, nigori, etc.), regional styles, brewing methods, and pairing applications within Japanese cuisine contexts.
Demonstrated track record building, curating, and presenting wine and beverage lists in a multi-concept luxury dining environment.
Polished, warm, and confident guest interaction skills at the luxury counter and table service level — composure under pressure is non-negotiable.
Financial literacy — beverage cost management, P&L awareness, inventory systems, and ordering discipline.
Experience training and developing FOH staff on beverage fundamentals, pairing language, and guest interaction standards.
Proficiency with beverage inventory management systems and POS/tablet devices as applicable.
Knowledge of food allergies and dietary restrictions — gluten-free, nuts, shellfish, dairy, eggs, soy — with a guest-safety-first approach to alcohol and non-alcohol pairing alternatives.
Candidates must successfully complete the evaluation and receive formal approval from the assigned Japanese Master Chef (Oyakata) and/or Franchise Owner before being assigned to a TENSHOU Collection restaurant.
Valid Food Handler Card & RBS Certification
Authorization to work in the United States

Schedule Expectations

Evening and weekend availability required. Shifts typically 8–12 hours.

Pay: $78,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year
