Sushi chef pictures from 2006 in Los Angeles

I just found an old picture from the 2006 from California Sushi Academy and a picture taken last month. Toshi still were his glasses in his forehead.
In 2006, we were all terrified every 14 days because our sushi skills were tested. Toshi is also a judge at sushi competitions in Japan and he is very tough as a judge.

In the first picture, Toshi is checking how clean my chef uniform is and then he is checking how sharp my sushi knife is.

Such a skill test consisted of fillet mackerel, sahimi, nigiri test, sushi roll test and presentation. Not only did he test our skills he also took time on how long we were about to make the food.

Thank god, I became No. 2 in the final and crucial skill test.

A lot has happened since then and today I am not dying of fear.

Catering sushi jobs in Los Angeles

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.
