TAKA SHIN^®, an authentic Japanese restaurant and sushi bar, headed by renowned Japanese sushi chef Shinji Kokubo, is celebrating its first anniversary in Palm Springs.

"In the last one year, we are very pleased to find our guests enjoy our authentic Japanese food at TAKA SHIN^®," says Chef  Shinji Kobubo. "To those who will visit Palm Springs for holidays, we look forward to welcoming you very soon!"

Chef Shinji Kokubo was born and raised in Japan and has worked in several restaurants as a sushi chef in Japan before moving to Los Angels. The rich experiences have enabled Shinji to develop a deep appreciation for authentic Japanese food. His commitments to providing the highest quality food experiences to Japanese food lovers across the world made him decided to open his own restaurant with support from local developer Garnet in Palm Springs.

With 30 years of culinary experience, Shinji is known for his attention to detail and mastery of seasonal Japanese ingredients. His innovative approach to Japanese cuisine through meticulous cooking techniques and creative execution makes him popular among local customers. Now Shinji is dedicating to create the most authentic and professional Japanese food at TAKA SHIN^®.

TAKA SHIN^® was opened by leading Palm Springs area developer Garnet Enterprises LLC in 2018 in the heart of Palm Springs. The 49-seat restaurant offers exquisite Japanese cuisine that delicately presents traditional Japanese food with a contemporary twist.

The Omakase, namely the Chefs choice, is specially prepared on a daily basis to present the ultimate sushi experience for diners at TAKA SHIN^®. Fresh seasonal fish and vegetables are selected to comply with Chefs inspiration and techniques to serve guests omakase-style at Sushi Bar only.
