Journey from Coast Sushi Bar to Japanese Snack Connoisseur: Erick Benitez’s Culinary Blog

Since founding Coast Sushi Bar in March 2003, I have been on a transformative culinary journey. Coast quickly established itself as a neighborhood favorite, celebrated for its outstanding sushi and inviting BYOB atmosphere.

Over the years, as a chef, I refined the art of combining simple yet complex flavors to offer innovative New-Japanese cuisine. The dedication to using only the freshest ingredients and top-quality fish from around the world has been the cornerstone of Coast’s consistent, top-tier dining experience.

In 2024, inspired by decades of culinary exploration and a desire to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of Japanese food culture, I embarked on a new venture.

I began a blog dedicated to Japanese snacks, aiming to illuminate the intricate world of these delightful treats. The blog represents a pivotal shift from being a restaurateur to becoming a food blogger, driven by a passion to educate and engage with others about Japanese cuisine.
