Masa Shimikawa

Hakodate, Japan, may be an ocean away from Ventura County but it’s just a dinner seating away at ONYX at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, where Chef de Cuisine Masa Shimakawa holds sway. Born, raised and schooled in the port city noted for “perhaps the world’s greatest seafood!” by Chowhound.com, Chef Masa has created Asian-style beauty with the pick of the Pacific since opening the restaurant in 2006.
