Los Angeles is a city with many Japanese sushi chefs

As a sushi chef Bar Hayama is the restaurant I know best. In 2006 I was trained to become a sushi chef at California Sushi Academy. Next to the culinary school were Toshi’s sushi restaurant where we worked in the sushi bar and did catering.

In 2012, I was back in LA where my teacher Toshi introduced me to a nigiri technique that takes 20 years of master.
