Kinyobi is looking for a Sushi Chef to join the kitchen
Start date: Start as soon as possible Position type: Chef Workplace: Kinyōbi
Who are we?
Kinyōbi is a newly opened modern Japanese restaurant in the heart of Copenhagen, led by Will King-Smith. At Kinyōbi, we work with high-quality ingredients across a range of Japanese culinary styles from delicate sushi and sashimi to comforting izakaya dishes and crisp, golden tempura.
Our open kitchen plays a central role in shaping the atmosphere, giving guests a glimpse into the rhythm, quality, and care behind each dish. The bar brings energy and balance to the space, while the service ties it all together: thoughtful, attentive, and always grounded in genuine hospitality.
From the moment you enter, you’re gently transported away from the streets of Copenhagen and into a world of calm energy, soft lighting, and thoughtful detail, a setting designed to feel both elevated and deeply welcoming.
What we’d love to see in you
We are looking for a sushi chef with experience in a similar position. You have strong knife skills, deep knowledge of both sushi and sashimi techniques, and preferably a good understanding of broader Japanese cooking traditions.
Good teamwork skills and the ability to work independently are both essential. Collaborating with the rest of the kitchen ensures a streamlined kitchen service, while maintaining an overview of your own responsibilities is a central part of this. We value our work environment, where there is good cooperation between the kitchen and the floor, which requires you to contribute with positive energy and prioritize professionalism.
You’re able to stay focused and deliver consistent quality, even when it’s busy. We’re a tight-knit team that supports each other, and we share a deep commitment to craftsmanship and creating standout experiences for our guests.
The perks of being part of the team
You’ll also be part of Sovino Brands, a larger restaurant group with strong administrative support across HR, IT, legal, and finance. As a Sovino employee, you’ll gain access to excellent professional development opportunities, including internal leadership training and the possibility of pursuing a sommelier certification, helping you build your skills and grow within the industry.
We also offer a range of staff benefits, including:
Free gym membership at Sporting Health Club, with multiple locations across Copenhagen
30% discount on food and drinks at Sovino restaurants
Access to industry-related training and future career opportunities within Sovino Brands
Sound like a match?
