Mr. OyodaSaid that his way of self-study is…
“I learned it all by watching YouTube.”

“Just search for ‘how to kill fish’ and ‘how to make sushi’ and you will see a lot of videos.”

HoweverMr. OyodaHe emphasized that he was not looking down on the sushi chef who had spent several years practicing. He also understood that his sushi making skills were far from being as good as others.
So he decided to think the other way around and spend more time practicing selecting fresh catches. In this way, even if your sushi making skills are not as good as others, you can still rely on the deliciousness of the ingredients to decide the winner!
“I understand that if you want to make perfect sushi with 100 points in every aspect, you need to spend a lot of time practicing.”

“So I feel that even if my sushi making skills can only reach 70 or 80 points…”

“You can also rely on the deliciousness of the ingredients to make delicious sushi.”

Even if the technology is only 70 points, the quality of the ingredients must be pursued at 100 points!

As forMr. Oyida’s thoughtsIs it correct?The best answer is to look at the store full of people.

The reason why so many people come to sushi school is that the Japanese economy has been stagnant for many years and wages have not increased for thousands of years, so more and more people choose to work abroad. It just so happens that Japanese food has become more and more popular around the world in recent years, and stores have been offering high salaries to recruit Japanese talents. So many Japanese decided to go abroad to make sushi and make a lot of money!
Student: “I want to open a sushi restaurant in Egypt.”
