THE TEACHER
Nobuyuki Ikarashi is a true master in the art of Sushi. Born 1968 in Niigata, Japan, he soon discovered his love for the precision behind
Sushi and traditional Japanese cuisine. After decades of education and practice in highly decorated restaurants in Japan he achieved
a master title in both disciplines (Sushi and Kaiseki) – which is very rare. Even more unusual is the fact, that he is willing to share his knowledge with interested professionals outside Japan. He moved to Austria to teach and hence improve the quality of Japanese cuisine all over Europe.
