Born in Niigata, Japan, in 1978, Chef Uruma grew up surrounded by the culinary business since childhood. He has worked at a hotel and Japanese kaiseki cuisine restaurant since he was 19 years old. At the age of 34, he moved to San Francisco and worked at a sushi restaurant for two years, but had to return to Japan due to family circumstances. In Japan, he learned some more professional skills at an eel specialty restaurant and a tempura specialty restaurant. In 2020, he was invited to be a chef in Denver, Colorado and has been working in a sushi restaurant in the state of Washington since 2022. He has been a Japanese cuisine chef in Japan for 20 years and in the US for 6 years.<\/p>\n

Workshop:<\/strong>
During today\u2019s hands-on sushi workshop, Chef Uruma will show us how to make hand-rolled sushi (temaki-zushi) and cone sushi (inari-zushi). He will show us how much sushi rice to use and how to position the rice. How much of each ingredient we put on the rice is also important, so the rolled sushi looks perfect and doesn\u2019t fall apart. We can only take up to 20 participants in our workshop room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
