German Metz
New York City native German Metz melds Japanese-influenced cuisine with the Dominican family-style soul food from his youth. Inspired to share the cultures of both the Izakaya pubs in Japan and his own Caribbean upbringing, Metz uses Zutto’s as a canvas where food and drinks are best enjoyed with friends and family. After studying at the New York Restaurant School in 2008, Metz worked at Zutto’s original location as the sous chef where he learned to make authentic sushi, sashimi, ramen, and traditional Japanese food. He dreamed of one day owning the restaurant, which he turned into reality in the summer of 2018. At “Zutto’s Japanese American Bar” Little Italy – Soho location, Metz has continued the brand’s dedication to providing its customers with a place to unwind in a laid-back atmosphere while indulging in sushi, ramen, and other specialty cuisine using choice quality ingredients with an extensive bar menu.
