Tokyo Sushi Academy, a subsidiary of DYM Co., Ltd.—a company engaged in diverse sectors including web, human resources, international medical services, M&A, and sports—will host a joint event titled 'SUSHI ENGLISH' on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in collaboration with PHLIGHT English School.
This hands-on workshop allows participants to learn sushi-making under the guidance of a professional chef with over 30 years of experience at renowned restaurants both in Japan and abroad. By partnering with PHLIGHT, the program provides explanations of the process in English, allowing participants to learn both the art of sushi and English simultaneously.
With the global boom in Japanese cuisine and the recovery of inbound tourism, the demand for sushi chefs overseas is rising rapidly. However, the industry still faces challenges such as the traditional '10-year apprenticeship' custom, a shortage of young talent, and language barriers. Tokyo Sushi Academy aims to break these conventions by condensing 30 years of expertise into a curriculum that can be mastered in as little as two months.
Key features of the event include world-class technical instruction, a 'hands-free' experience where all tools are provided, practical communication practice, and the opportunity to enjoy the sushi you make as a lunch course. Lead instructor Kenta Kidachi, who has extensive experience in high-end establishments, will share the core techniques of the craft.
Looking ahead, the academy plans to continue collaborating with various industries to preserve traditional techniques and foster global talent. The event will take place on June 13, 2026, from 15:00 to 17:00, with a fee of 10,000 yen (tax included).
