 "The
educational philosophy of the California Sushi Academy
crosses borders, race and gender to bring greater Japanese
cultural understanding and appreciation through the culinary
experience. In the past it has been solely the right of
Japanese male's to become sushi chefs. CSA has changed
this, passing on its wealth of culinary knowledge to people
of diverse backgrounds so that they may in turn share
the beauty of Japanese cuisine and culture with others"
Toshi Sugiura, CEO
and President |

 The
California Sushi Academy opened its doors in 1998 as the
first vocational school specializing in the training and
certification of sushi chefs. At the Academy, veteran
sushi chefs teach small groups of students the intricate
art of Japanese cuisine. Students of the Academy recieve
highly forcused training in such areas as knife skill
development, traditional Japanese cooking techniques,
modern culinary influences, fish identification and preparation,
basic and advanced sushi and sashimi preparation, and
presentation. CSA's comprehensive curriculum is designed
to ready graduates for successful careers as sushi chefs
and restaurant entrepreneurs. |

|
| With the recent surge in popularity
of Japanese and fusion cuisine, the demand for well-trained
sushi chefs has increased enormously. Despite this fact,
there is a severe shortage of qualified candidates within
the marketplace due to inadequate training, restrictive
immigration laws, and the sheer number of new sushi restaurants.
Our curriculum is designed to prepare student to meet
this demand, and the staff at the California Sushi Academy
are dedicated to this process. With their extensive training,
CSA graduates may enter the marketplace with confidence.

|
| As the first vocational training
institution dedicated to the certification of professional
sushi chefs, we have received international television,
radio and print media recognition. CSA's unique multi-cultural
and gender-open philosophy of education and the unsurpassed
level of training afforded its graduate chefs has placed
CSA at the top of its class. |
