you might consider reading this topic and the site.
''I think there are at least 200 women sushi chefs in Japan,'' said Toshio Suzuki, the owner-chef of Sushi Zen in Midtown. He has trained two women as sushi chefs, Takako Yoneyama, 52, the owner of Taka in Greenwich Village, and Miho Tanaka, 43, at Sushi a Go-Go near Lincoln Center.
For a woman to become a sushi chef in Japan has been easier since 1999. That year, Japan revised its Equal Employment Opportunity Law to mandate equality in hiring and promotion. Japan also lifted a ban that prohibited women from working later than 10 p.m. But laws alone weren't keeping women from becoming sushi chefs.
I have been in Japan for many years and never met a female sushi chef, it all man's world when it came to sushi but there are some around..Most are apprentices and they find it difficult to work with male sushi chefs that is why they just remain apprentices. Japan has million population but the sushi female chef is really not being recognized.
nice to know that you are a female sushi chef. I love sushi but I am picky about sushi, I don't eat sushi that is not fresh, I don't mind paying more if it is really good. that is why sushi chefs are highly paid job in Japan for their dedication and good reputation in making their sushi fresh on the counter.

How previous are you and how lengthy have you ever been in Japan? even besides the undeniable fact that it really is uncommon, I truly have considered them...quite in many circumstances contained in the places that promote sushi on the carousels with the colored plates dnoting value. I truly have even considered a pair on "foodie" shows at distinct the better eating places.
