After Leiths, the Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku was the perfect next step.
Learning Japanese techniques and knife skills here is bringing me closer to my dream of owning a restaurant in Japan.

I’m excited to keep learning.

I’m thrilled to see a dedicated sushi and Japanese cuisine college opening in London—it couldn’t come at a better time.
For years, we’ve struggled to find skilled sushi chefs and even considered starting our own training program.
With Japanese cuisine’s incredible growth, It’s crucial to have talented chefs ensuring quality.
This college is a fantastic step forward, and I’m excited to support it and recruit top talent!
