Eight year old Reiko has been in training to become the family’s Master Sushi Chef for several years now. Her main teacher is her dad, Nick, who is helping to preserve the family’s traditional Japanese food preparation. Reiko loves to learn and loves to be part of the process. To become a Master Sushi Chef, the tradition is learning through apprenticeship. Reiko’s off to a great start.

She’s gotten so big!! Missed you guys at the holidays this year, but I hope you are doing well!
Hey Jancy… It’s great to hear from you. We missed you there as well. We hear you are doing well and are glad to hear that. We certainly miss seeing you. And also, thanks for checking in on my photo blog. I will be posting more images from New Years over the next few weeks.
Nice!
Thanks Lee.
Wonderful photo! You captured the real Reiko.
Thanks Robin. It was great to see you and Bill.
You caught a great look on her beautiful face . . . she looks so pleased with her work, as she should be! Go, Reiko!
Great candid shot Marty.
Thank you Martin. It was nice to see you and Melrose at New Years.
I love this! And I really love that she wants to learn about cooking!
She’s lots of fun and was always wanting to be part of the worker bees, asking for a job to do.
too cute
She is…
Did you see the knife sharpening photo I posted a few days ago?

What a beautiful child! And obviously one who has just the right touch, seems very delicate. Wonderful that she is interested in learning her traditional roots.
Thanks Pat-
Looks amazing! It was so fun to spend time with her. What a great family! The picture is wonderful as well. Look forward to seeing more.
Thanks. There are more photos coming, including some with kids you know well, and, of course, some yummy food photos.
