Info on the training to become a sushi chef in Japan?
I’m doing an essay on whether or not food is art- and 1 of the things I would like to reference is sushi. I remember reading somewhere that in Japan it is quite a long process and training, and that to become head chef you would have to do jobs such as the ‘rice fanner’. I would like some more information- and preferably links with please.
Thanks
In Japan, being trained for a chef takes years.
