Food: Sushi Chef: Miki Izumisawa

Making a sushi is an artform. It require many years to make a splendid and phenomenal piece of sushi. With precision of every ounce of fresh ingredient - not too much nor not too little. Just right. What if you were to make it fusion? Mixing in with different culture of ingredients into one roll?

It is already a norm where sushi tend to fused with local ingredients or even fusion with other part of culture like a foreign mix along with it. I do expect finding sriracha sauce in it but sometimes it can create the best mixture that can elevate the flavor or simply, disgusting. Would you prefer the original or fusion? Mine would be both. A bits of everything.

Anyway, there is still a tradition in Japan where women are not allowed to mend a sushi in some part of state. The reason said that women have a higher temperature of body warm and when they start touching the raw fish, the flavor will change. So only men makes it to keep the flavor as original as possible.

I'm not on anyone side but delicate procedure can sometimes be the gender sustaining their own legacy and being proud - the male. We live in society where woman can only do minimal stuff but there was back in 1900. Now the modern time changes and everyone is stepping up the game so tradition can still be preserve like Kabuki but I believe it is time to make a change where everyone can do it.

It's either you die out the tradition that is forbidden to be done by others not blood related or letting it live but with different people taking care of it.

That's just my opinion.

Anyway, in this video, it is really about a woman named Miki Izumisawa dedicating her life as a sushi chef in America. Adding on, she does fusion food with more than 47 sauces to top with her woman-made sushi in which, from my eyes, it looks very good. Vibrant color on beautiful,  fresh food. Unfortunately I am not Asian-American so I wouldn't be able to try it and as well, I can't consume raw food or I purge it out (unfortunately).

She may breaks the boundaries of having only woman workers in the shop but the equality is being shared among. I believe it is a different approach I seen of being not equal but who would want to compare in Britain where if I am not mistaken, a club that is only for men.

Anyway, I don't wish to divert into another topic about that. No surprise in America for woman do such thing. She as well pretty committed to pursue her career on it and almost everytime, she gets new idea and start it right away to obtain that fusion-flavor she looks for.

In a nutshell, I'll let the video speak for itself to get a further understanding about her, Fusion sushi are always hard to make as raw food gives more complex flavor than a cooked one. So if the fusion is right, you can taste all 5 taste bud. She is just an ordinary woman, doing wonders with her skill.

Fusion! Fusion! Let's do this!
