The restaurant features a 24-seat hand roll counter bar where, like at our other locations, guests can watch their hand rolls being made, and, most importantly, enjoy them while the seaweed is at its best.

At KazuNori, the commitment to quality is unwavering, serving hand rolls made with only the freshest fish, along with specially harvested seaweed, house-made sauces, and signature warm rice. Named after celebrated sushi chef Kazunori Nozawa who introduced the cylindrical-style hand roll to the United States over 40 years ago, KazuNori opened in 2014 and is the first restaurant of its kind. 

Featuring four different set menus, sashimi, beer and sake, Nozawa believes that the experience of eating hand rolls is truly something special and worthy of its own restaurant. “The combination of our crispy nori, warm rice, and pristine fish will redefine what you think about hand rolls,” explains co-founder Tom Nozawa.

The 1,300-square-foot space designed by Marmol Radziner features Japanese geometric pattern-inspired surfaces of white oak and blackened steel. At the 24-seat hand roll bar, guests can dine at the counter while seeing their hand rolls being made, and most importantly enjoy them while the seaweed is at its best.
