Now I started my own sushi business and it is going very well.
I recommend this program to everybody who wants to have a good foundation for making sushi and other Japanese dishes.
The teachers are just great!"

"When I took their online Sushi Masterclass, I was working as a sushi chef in a restaurant. But, I wanted to learn more about sushi and Japanese cuisine. And now, I started my second Japanese restaurant in my home country.
Everything I learned from this program was useful for me throughout my future career as a chef.
It is a very complete program from many points of view that helps you learn regardless of the level of training and experience you have (from beginners to advanced chefs).
I'm glad I met Takahashi Sensei (teacher). He is one of the best teachers of Japanese cuisine that I could find."
