I'm the sushi chef at Fuji in Haddonfield, NJ. I do mostly car photography, some work with models, and of course food photography for the restaurant.

I'm glad you enjoyed your Bday meal Tim. Matt--the guy at the bar--is definitely our biggest fan.

I haven't posted any pics in a long long time because I haven't taken any. I re-edited two and I have a few new ones.

No, they're my pictures. I'm Jesse Ito, the full time sushi chef and Matt's son at Fuji. I dabble in photography and other arts, so I thought I'd share.
