A LITTLE ABOUT US 

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. Ben was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area by one of the U.S.' best-known authorities on medieval Japanese weaponry. That passion for the culture extended to food too, and little Ben spent many hours in the family kitchen, working for snacks, inadvertently getting a world-class education in preparation and plating by a man obsessed with tradition. He was awed by the flavors and undaunted by the delicacies — uni at home, and sashimi cut from a gasping fish on a childhood trip to Osaka. Young Ben wasn't grossed out by this. Actually, he was in love. 

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.  He has since run the sushi bar at various Southern California eateries, but his current venture has more to do with those early days than it does with what's happened since. Today he owns The Shiroyama Sushi Co to share his passion with you in a more personal setting.

Today, Chef Ben shares his devotion with you, share his passion with you in a more personal setting, by passing on the loving knowledge he's accrued like his father did for him. Whether on location for your special event or in your home – Chef Ben can be found catering events, serving as a private chef, giving sushi lessons throughout California.
