I work as a sushi chef, making sushi in the restaurant. Of course, in addition to making sushi, another part of a sushi chef's job is to prepare the fish so that it tastes good. Choshimaru not only serves sushi, but also omelette and arajiru, which are popular dishes, so there are times when we cook dishes other than sushi! I also go to the market every day to buy fish for our sushi. I also study to identify the best fish so that you can enjoy the freshest fish.

The best part of the job is that you get to enjoy freshly made sushi at its best and right in front of your eyes. The sight of the customers enjoying their sushi with a delicious smile on their face, or saying, "I want more! I want more!" or "Which one do you want next? I am always happy to see them enjoying their sushi and talking to each other! On the other hand, in order to ensure that our customers can enjoy sushi safely and securely, we have a strict hygiene control system in place to prevent the quality of fish from deteriorating. Although there are busy and tough days, I am very encouraged when I receive letters and words of encouragement from our customers, such as "It was delicious!

I work at Choshimaru, a sushi restaurant that offers not only delicious sushi but also service that makes customers enjoy their meal. I mainly work in the kitchen at the back of the restaurant and in the kitchen behind the counter. When the restaurant opens and customers arrive, I stand at the counter and make sushi right in front of them. In addition to the tools for making sushi, the counter also has a stove for making omelets, a burner for roasting fish to make sushi, and various other cooking utensils!

I have loved fish since I was a little girl, and after graduating from high school, I got a job at a fish store. After graduating from high school, I worked at a fishmonger's shop and thought, "I want more customers to eat delicious fish! I want to work directly with customers in a restaurant! So I changed jobs at Choshimaru and became a sushi chef. If you want to become a sushi chef, you should study fish knowledge and techniques by entering a sushi chef training school or a culinary school, or by training at a sushi restaurant. Also, if you work at a sushi restaurant like Choshimaru, which has an in-house artisan training program, you can acquire the necessary skills in a short time while working at the restaurant!
