Shokunin is the Japanese term for “master craftsman,” but here it also serves as our playful nod to the sushi chefs and neighborhood spots that shaped California’s dining culture in the 1990s. Our 26-seat restaurant is a small, casual, and vibrant space — the kind of place where the pace is fast, the food is fresh, and the atmosphere is all about good times.

We honor the Shokunin spirit — dedication, skill, and pride in the craft — while serving it up with a lighter touch. Think bold flavors, fresh fish, a splash of nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun. Shokunin is a place to pull up a chair, laugh with friends, and enjoy sushi the way it was meant to be: lively, approachable, and unforgettable.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
