From the chef
Hidemi Nishioka transformed himself from a fisherman into a sushi artist making the most of the great taste of fish
Born February 13th, 1961, Hidemi Nishioka is a native of Hamanaka-cho, Hokkaido. After graduating from vocational school, he joined his father, who was a fisherman, to go fishing out at sea for two years. When the fishing season came to an end and he went for a meal at a sushi restaurant, it struck him that if he cooked the fish he caught in a similar way, they would be delicious. He then aspired to be a sushi artist and began his training at Omi Sushi Sohonten in Kushiro. Afterwards, he refined his skills at sushi restaurants, hotels, and other establishments in Yoichi and Kushiro. In 1989, he joined Masazushi and worked at the main store, becoming manager of Otaru Masazushi Zenan in 2010.
