How to make “Nigiri Sushi”
This video could be a reference on the basic style of how to make “Nigiri Sushi.” There are several styles of slicing the fish and shaping Nigiri Sushi and Roll Sushi. The excellent Sushi chefs and cooks have very delicate and keen sense on choosing fish, slicing fish, keeping their hands clean. Some legendary Sushi chefs have their original style that has been attracting Japanese foodies. It is commonly said that 10 year training is necessary to be an independent Sushi cook. However, some of recent talented Sushi cooks finished substantial training at famous Sushi restaurant in a short period, and open their own Sushi restaurants. Sushi is always one of the most favorite cuisine for Japanese, and many Sushi restaurant guide books and magazines are published all the time. There are many famous and expensive Sushi restaurants featured on Michelin or Zagat. However, there exist many excellent Sushi restaurants serving good Sushi in their own styles and manners sometimes for more reasonable prices.
As time passes, a sushi cook, like any other cook, will gain valuable experience in the field. I believe if you have the drive and passion to do something, it wouldn’t have to take you 10 years to do it. With proper training and guidance you can become a sushi cook sooner than you think. I’ve recently been under sushi mentoring for about 5 months and I am progressing at a quick speed. With proper mentoring and drive you come up with many ways to do one thing and figure out the best way to do it. I think the actual number of 10 years comes from a person applying for a sushi chef position with no experience. With no proper training or passion to be persistent to become the greatest sushi chef that person can be. I’ve been blessed with a mentor so I started a blog on how to make sushi at home. Its for all the sushi enthusiasts who are willing to do it but just don’t know where to begin. check it out http://www.thesushichef.wordpress.com
