I just sat and read old notes from my Japanese sushi chef Toshi sensei.
I stumbled upon this internship log from 2006 and I can not help but to think back on the many cozy and busy hours in the Sushi bar in Los Angeles.
Catering job at the film company Paramount Pictures in Hollywood and catering jobs with celebrities in Beverly Hills, Bel Air area. Gated areas that require authentication to access.
Private homes in the price range 70 millions, parties, bodyguards and a wealth that I have not seen elsewhere.
It was an exciting time.

At the moment you have the opportunity to see 200 Japanese cherry blossom toes in Copenhagen. It was a gift which Copenhagen received many years ago.
Every year is cherry trees blossom is celebrated at Sakura festival which is held in the last weekend of April in Copenhagen near the harbor. At Sakura festival you can experience stage performances, cultural events and food stalls.
However, it seems as if the cherry trees are beginning bloom earlier than usual.
If you want to enjoy the beautiful flowers, you should visit Langelinie (Copenhagen) here at Easter.

In 2015 I was asked if I would like to make sushi and Japanese dishes for a private party at the home of the US ambassador Rufus Gifford.
I said of course yes. To my great joy the US ambassador is very fond of the authentic Japanese cuisine.
It turned out to be some exciting and fast-paced hours I went several times in the dining room to present the individual dishes.
The evening went well I got many compliments from US ambassador Rufus Gifford and his partner Stephen throughout the evening and the next day.

A Japanese meal is exceptionally healthy and is very good for your body.
Fish is the foundation of Japanese cuisine. This means that fish plays an important part in almost every meal. I am not only talking about a piece of fish but also fish stock, fish flakes, dried fish and so on.
The Japanese do also keep their bodies healthy and slim in way that they eat detoxifying ingredients.
Vegetables and seaweed is eaten in large quantities. Beside that the Japanese do also eat plenty of ginger and soy which plays an important part in Japanese cuisine.
The Japanese do also like to eat meat but it takes up a lot less than what we are used to in Europe.
The healthy diet is the direct cause of the Japanese live so long.

Yes, there may be big differences in the type of sushi rice.
Most people would probably think that the quality is not as crucial.
Like so much else the quality of sushi rice how just as much impact on how tasty your rice will be.
There is a big difference how many times you need to wash the sushi rice, how much water you must use and how long you should cook the rice. The cheaper rice you use the harder it make good sushi rice.
It’s worth spending a little extra money on buying rice of good quality.

In Japan sake is served in several different ways. The older generation +55 years often drinks sake on weekdays and at special events.
During the week sake is typically served at the evening meal. How many glasses they drink depends on the percentage of alcohol. Generally speaking the percentage of alcohol in a bottle of sake is higher than in a bottle of wine.
As a rule of thumb if the percentage of alcohol in a bottle of sake is roughly the same as a bottle of wine the Japanese do enjoy a few glasses.
If the alcohol content is significantly higher and I am thinking of a bottle of booze the Japanese drinks small amounts of sake in the mug which is the size of a shot glass.
In the last newsletter of the year I will talk about how the younger generation prefer to drink sake.

Thursday and yesterday I was in Belgium where I practiced kendo kata with my Japanese kendo sensei whom I have known since 2001. He and a delegation of eight high-graded Japanese were teaching at the annual Belgian winter seminar.
It was quite nice to revisit many of my Belgian friends who I have known for many years.
Several of the Japanese kendo teachers know that I am Japanese-trained sushi chef. This year there were more of them who would like to read and see pictures of my Japanese sushi chef teacher. The Japanese kendo delegation thinks it is great that I am sushi chef.

The selection of sake is very large in Japan.
In Europe wine is divided into champagne, white wine, red wine and dessert wine.
In Japan sake is divided into four main categories respectively Kun-shu, Sou-shu, Jun-shu and Jun-shu. Juku-shu is a category which is reserved for sake which has been aged for a long period of time.
Beside that there is also sake with bubbles and sake which is served for dessert. In addition, varying alcohol content also depend on which type of sake we are talking about. You can get sake with an alcohol content that matches a bottle of vodka. Therefore it does matter how sake is drunk. In Japan sake is drunk in several different ways.

In Japan Christmas is not celebrated in the same way as in Europe. The Japanese do not celebrate Christmas by eating Christmas dinner as we know it in Europe.
The Japanese do enjoy going out and eat a nice dinner with colleagues, family and friends. Eating a meal together is a social event as the Japanese enjoy while they eat many small meals which is very normal in Japan.
In a restaurant at dinner the Japanese prefer to drink beer it is the most preferred beverage at evening meals throughout Japan. The beer selection is not as large as in Europe the beer you find in Japan is very similar to classic beer in Denmark.
