I went to a sushi workshop last Sunday. It was great opportunity to see skillful 7 sushi samurai who have come from the other side of the world. The workshop is held only once a year so I was looking forward to attending. In the morning, I had a lecture about the history of sushi, sushi ingredients and hygiene. After the lecture, I had lunch with the chef's delicious nigiri sushi. Unlike take away sushi, sushi rice fell apart in my mouth. The texture and flavor were perfect! Of course, fish were very fresh!
After the tasting, I started practicing my cooking with sushi expert tutor, Mr Ogata who is one of 7 sushi samurai. I was happy with the the quality of my sushi rice. However, he gave me some tips which will improve the taste of my sushi rice further. Filleting fish wasn't easy for me. I was untidy separating the fins and scales of sea bass. Finally, I enjoyed making sushi. I had excellent experience with 7 sushi samurai. All chefs were passionate about sushi. I thought about being proper sushi chef after this workshop. Is this good idea? Mr Ogata said he would like to have me in his sushi restaurant.(he is kind or he meant he wanted to hire me as a waitress?)
My tutor Mr Ogata won the sushi competition this year! Congratulation!
