Bonded through their mutual love for sushi, the arts, travel and fashion, the duo look to create an inclusive world catered towards like-minded individuals who wish to further immerse themselves in the lifestyle of culinary art.
Coined ‘Beverly Hills Sushi Club’, the first capsule collection collaboration between Stamp and Matsuhisa launched with signature sushi club chopsticks logo on the Beverly Hills Sushi Club 'perfect' fit and ‘relaxed’ T-Shirts, a Stampd Matsuhisa Sport Cap and a Beverlys Hills Sushi Club Trucker Hat, all of which were produced in limited quantities.

Following Beverly Hills Sushi Club, Stamp and Matsuhisa followed-up with the launch of Aspen Sushi Club, transporting the ‘Sushi Club’ lifestyle to Aspen’s outdoor-centric culture where Matsuhisa also operates a restaurant. The Aspen Sushi Club product mix features Sushi Club’s core essentials with the updated Aspen Sushi Club logo and were available at a pop-up at the Matsuhisa Aspen location on launch day. ‘Sushi Club’ is also set to launch in St. Tropez in June 2023.
In 1987, the ambitious sushi chef Nobu Matsuhisa opened his first restaurant in Beverly Hills, bringing his inspired blend of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine to the public. When Matsuhisa’s doors first opened, a silhouette of Nobu was painted behind the sushi bar. The smoky grey profile of a 38 year old Nobu is still there 30 years later, and has become the logo to his ever expanding legacy.
Although his flagship still retains the low key décor from day one, it is distinguished by its skilled staff and an enormous menu packed with peerless dishes. Matsuhisa not only represents dining at its finest, it is the foundation of a culinary empire that is still growing today.
