The first time I tried sushi was in elementary school. I did not enjoy the nigiri due to a small fear of consuming raw fish but it would later become my favorite food. In fact I love sushi so much I wanted to center my life on it.
One of my biggest concern as a young nerd who read books and wrote articles was if I could handle the physical stress that comes with being a chef. As it turns out catering all day long on some days was one of the most enjoyable moments of my life.
I was a bit skeptical when I learned rice is everything when making nigiri, after all I thought its fish that makes nigiri memorable. This class taught me just how significant rice texture and taste is.
I would highly recommend having sharp ears and a keen memory; these alone will be very helpful.
