How Do You Say “Sushi’ In Spanish? - Latino Sushi Chefs Sweep Manhattan

“Like Espinal, many Central Americans and Mexicans in the New York area are training to become sushi chefs.

As a result, Latino employees are sometimes learning in two years what could take up to eight years in Japan, where the apprenticeship is ruled by century-old traditions and not always open to foreigners.

“There is a trend towards more non-Japanese chefs,” said Toshi Sugiura, the president of the California Sushi Academy, a school where students from all over the world learn basic sushi techniques in three months.”
