Students from culinary schools and USF students majoring in hospitality management also participated.2 Although sushi has been a male-dominated profession in the past, many women attended the seminar. Everyone listened with great interest as they learned about the skills, knowledge and wisdom of an authentic sushi chef from Japan.
