A truly enlightening experience! I first enrolled with Sushi Chef Institute with the perspective of cooking a decent Japanese meal for my family. Boy was I taken by surprise when Chef Andy blurted out “2 minutes, 2 rolls, cut, plate, decorated, speed and quality.” I knew at this point, he was challenging each and every one of us to push ourselves. I learned many techniques from roll making, nigiri production, sushi rice secrets, whole fish preparation, tempura, karaage and yaki techniques, all very much enjoyable, but the most important and valuable lesson that Chef Andy san imparted to me was the American work ethic. The harder you work to develop and challenge yourself, the more likely that success will come your way. Ironic to have been reminded of the American work ethic by a Japanese Master Sushi Chef.
Arigato Gozai mashita Chef Andy san for the wonderful experience and the long lasting life lesson.
