Sushi University – all about sushi free online or as you dine in Tokyo


Sushi. Whether you already love it as I do or you haven’t yet tried it — if you have an opportunity to try some on your travels, you’ll appreciate Sushi University.

  • Sushi University is a website that’ll familiarize you with the various facts and facets of sushi.
  • Sushi University is an in-person sushi experience in Tokyo, Japan.
  • And it’s also a Kindle ebook, which means you can carry it with you to restaurants and travels. It’s called BEYOND THE SUSHI CHEF: The Ultimate Bible for Mastering Nigiri Sushi.

Sushi University Courses — If you’re traveling to Tokyo, you might love one of the three offered dining experiences. You’ll get to sit with an interpreter at the counter of a true Japanese sushi bar and learn about Edo-style sushi from the sushi chef as you dine.

As I write this in 2019 the “courses” start at ¥12,000 per person and includes around 14 Nigiri Sushi and some kind of Maki Sushi.

 

 


In summary

I’ve loved sushi since I was a young professional living in NYC and learned some things as I went along in life, but I learned much more in a short while on this site. I’ll definitely be reading it again before I get back to Japan.

I got lost in this site — and got pretty hungry. But the coolest takeaway for me is that now I finally know whether it’s ok to eat sushi with my hands as I prefer, although I mastered chopsticks decades ago before my major travels began.
