Job Description
Honzu is an elevated take on classic Japanese Kombini-style cuisine, in support of Japanese Tencha (unground Matcha) farmers. Heritage Matcha farmers shade tea bushes using rice straw.

Serving made-to-order, generously stuffed Ongiri with single cultivar rice. Classics like Chicken Karaage and Ebi-Fry, battered and fried in-house. As a mission-driven company, you're excited to deepen your appreciation and mastery of the Japanese culinary arts.
