I have had many unique and exciting experiences in Japan and there have been 2 trips that have been the same.
My travels to Japan do not really look like vacation as they have always had a professional content.
I have found a picture from 2004.
In the picture I am with the Japanese national team coach of the Japanese women’s team. I am pretty tired because we have been training tournaments at Tokai University. It is auniversity where the most talented kendo players among Japanese students go.
It is also here the Olympic champions in Judo coach.

Sushi is in my opinion a summer dish.
It is the season that abounds with a large selection of fresh vegetables and fish which are perfect for sushi. Vegetables full of flavors, aromas and unique tastes and, in the right composition, offer a gastronomic experience.
At the sushi course for beginners, attendances get a professional knowledge of sushi and sushi preparation. Knowledge is not enough the attendance do also learn to use different Japanese cooking and hand techniques to produce sushi of a quality so it can be served for a dinner.
Last but not least, attendances learn to handle fish for sushi rolls. You also learn about the classic pitfall when buying fish for sushi.
There are still some available spots on Sushi course for beginners which will be held on Sunday 20 May 2018. Do not wait too long if you want to go home with home-made sushi and a glass of cold white wine.

The Japanese do go out to dine a lot.
In Europe most people will go to at restaurant and dine when there is a special occasion to celebrate. Some restaurants in Europe do also offer unique gastronomic experience.
In Japan, the Japanese have a different view of going out and dine. In Japan, dining at a restaurant is a way of spending time be together. There is no specific event for going out and dine at a restaurant
This means that the Japanese are dinning at a restaurant several times per a week. In Japan, social gathering often takes place at the many restaurants and eateries that are found on every street in Japan.

The Japanese cuisine is very different from the rest of the world.
The dish is combined in such a way that it either charges the body or adds to the body’s nourishment.
Chips, fries and other high fat foods are not included as a natural part of Japanese cuisine. Just like so many others, the Japanese also want a snack. However, the Japanese prefer to eat something healthy when want something sweet to eat. They prefer to eat dried squid, dried raises and fish.
In comparison to cake and other sweet stuff, rice and beans are included in many Japanese desserts. Desserts do not have to get ‘boring’ for that reason.

Reference from individuals
“Zoë Escher helped us with a sushi course for 13 people to a bachelor party. It was a really nice experience!
Zoë had control of things, and was full of great tips and recipes for everyone, both for novices and those who had tried making sushi before. The style was fresh, competent, informative and entertaining, and when we were finished, we had sushi enough for an army – there was no one who went home hungry”.
Stephanie Munck, Code Slinger
“Exciting, educational – and just enormously cozy with good friends. Over a glass of cold wine we made lots of while Zoë instructed, gave good advice and shared her huge knowledge about Japanese sushi. We got many good tips – on everything from knives to where to buy the best fish. I can definitely recommend”.

In Tokyo the Japanese have a different view of sushi than restaurant guests in Europe. Sushi rice cooked to perfection is firm but soft in texture. They must not be cooked as long as they have become porridge. Nor should they be cooked in a way so they are still raw inside. It is a difficult balance to hit.
Nevertheless, this is the first parameter the Japanese use to assess the quality of sushi. According to Japanese sushi rice must be cooked to perfection.
One of the reasons why sushi rice is so hard to boil is that the weather affects the boiling process of sushi rice. There are really many stages that sushi rushes go through before they are ready to cook. At Sushi course for beginners you will learn as a step by step how to cook sushi rice to perfection.
