Sen of Japan is a Japanese restaurant and sushi bar in Las Vegas, Nevada.

​

In December 2005, Chef Hiro Nakano, former head chef at Nobu at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, opened Sen of Japan together with Shinji Shichiri, a former chef at a Japanese restaurant at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino, sharing a vision of making the level of Japanese cuisine found in luxury hotels on the Las Vegas Strip more accessible to the local community in a relaxed setting.

​

Inspired by the meaning of “Sen” — freshness — we hope to bring out the best in fresh ingredients through the knowledge and skill of our chefs, making authentic Japanese flavors more approachable for everyone.

​

Today, Chef Hiro continues to lead Sen alongside his daughter, Lena.

​

In 2026, they brought the spirit of Sen to Japan, opening a new location in Sendai — Hiro’s hometown — where the flavors loved in Las Vegas meet the finest ingredients of Japan, with a focus on local produce and sake unique to Japan.

​

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to Las Vegas — where our journey began — and Sendai — close to our hearts — creating places where people can enjoy great food and meaningful moments.

​

We look forward to welcoming you and creating memorable moments together at SEN.
