TSA：Tokyo Sushi Academy
They started their school in 2002 and it is the most famous Sushi school in Japan's history. Their graduates are working as Sushi chefs all over the world. Many international students attend this school to learn the art of traditional Sushi-making.
What is the difference between Japanese and international students? Most of the international students are from the countries where there aren't four seasons. Therefore, it's rare for them to understand the importance of Japanese food to reflect the four seasons.
What was the most surprising thing about international students? They don't like to serve the dish simply, so we make it more elaborate.
What was the most impressive thing about international students? They're really passionate, they learn quickly and grow fast. They have a strong intention towards Sushi, especially learning how to make Edomae-Sushi which is a traditional style of Sushi.
Cristina Why I chose this schoolTo learn how to make hand-rolled Sushi and deepen my understanding of Japanese culture
She's from Spain, she had worked as a chef for 10years. She got tired with her job at her relative's restaurant and wanted to learn different cuisine, then she got a job at a Japanese restaurant which is managed by a Japanese. She worked there for three years and learned Japanese food. After finishing this course at TSA, she'll be working at a Japanese restaurant in Utsunomiya, Tochigi prefecture . Through travelling and working at various restaurants in Japan, she wants to improve her cooking skills for Japanese food.
Cristina's idea on great things about TSA
Teachers at TSA are amazing! What I felt when I was working with Japanese chefs were that I had to learn from them by watching them carefully. When I entered this school, I was so happy that teachers are very kind and helpful all the time. They'd solved my many questions which I wanted to ask for long time. I feel very lucky to be their students because they are very nice and skillful!

Aaron Why I chose this schoolTo improve my skills for hand-rolled Sushi and achieve my dream to be a head-chef!
He's from USA, he fell in love with Sushi when he had his first Sushi at the age of five. He got a job as a dishwasher at a popular Japanese restaurant 4years ago. Few months later, he started his career as a sushi- chef trainee at the restaurant. He has a dream to be a head-chef in few years so he's working and studying very hard.
Aaron's idea on the most fun class at TSA
The most fun thing for me to learn was how to prepare a hand-rolled sushi of Ark Shell. After making the decorative cuts, it looks so beautiful on the plate, and it's also one of my favorite ingredients to eat! And, scaling Yellowtail which is called as "suki-biki" was also enjoyable.
On the other hand, the most difficult class for me was "katura-muki", a skill for getting a radish into a perfectly smooth cylinder.
Surprising things at TSA
I was definitely surprised at how quickly Japanese students advanced from having no experience in making Sushi! I have to start working harder!
TSA's Instructor, Mr. Murakami's voice;
I think Japanese students are more skillful with their fingers than international students. Especially, the skill of decorative cuts are not used in French or Italian cuisine, therefore it's quite hard and brand-new experience for International students.
