In the male-dominated world of sushi, one brave woman broke past the stereotypes keeping women from becoming sushi chefs. Chizui Yuki became Japan’s first ever female sushi chef to own her own restaurant. Her restaurant Nadeshico Sushi is located in Tokyo’s otaku district Akihabara where she and her all-female staff serve top quality sushi to locals as well as international visitors.
Shizuka get’s a chance to ask Yuki-san about her life as a sushi chef, some of the challenges she’s faced, and her hopes for the future. She also get’s a hands-on experience making her own sushi! Under the guidance of Yuki-san, Shizuka learns techniques of preparing fresh and flavorful sushi- will her sushi hold up against the professionals?
