The Shiroyama Sushi Co. is the dream of Chef Ben Weissberg, whose journey into Japanese cuisine began as a young boy by his father's side. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area by renowned Japanese sword historian Fred Weissberg, Ben grew up immersed in Japanese culture since birth. His father’s adoration for Japan’s culture extended not only to swords but to food too, and little Ben spent hours in the family kitchen, working for rice crackers!
Those childhood days proved to offer a world-class education in preparation and plating, later refined when studying under celebrated Master Sushi Chef, Andy Matsuda.
While Ben spent time as a chef for various Southern California sushi establishments, today he runs The Shiroyama Sushi Co to share his passion with you in a more personal setting.
Whether in your home or on location for your special event – Chef Ben can be found serving as a private chef, giving sushi lessons, and catering events throughout California.
Recently Chef Ben began bottling his bespoke Japanese provisions under The Shiroyama Sushi Co banner.
The Shiroyama Sushi Co is based in Southern California.

served cold, but it's best
when it warms the soul too. ”
