"I was a total beginner when I took their online Sushi Masterclass, but after completing it, I got a sushi chef job at a hotel in Manila amid the corona crisis and now started my own sushi business!
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!"

Experienced sushi chefs or international gastronomy chefs
Even a professional chef with a few years of experience in sushi or international cuisines, you still learn a lot through our programs taught by real experts. That will help you take your cooking to the next level.
"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."

Food professionals who are passionate about Japanese Cuisine can find a lot of undiscovered secrets of Japanese culinary art.
"I have visited Japan a few times and taken a few sushi & other Japanese cooking lessons there. But, this online Sushi Masterclass really taught me the depth of the art of sushi, which I couldn't learn anywhere else even in Japan.
At first, I was a bit skeptical about learning cooking online, but it worked really well!
Especially, the personalized feedback was great to improve my sushi skill!"
