This initiative aims to promote sushi as a new tourist attraction and pass on traditional techniques to the younger generation. Master chef Setsuo Funahashi from the Michelin two-star restaurant Edomae Sushi Nikaku demonstrated the &#8220;Hontegaeshi&#8221; technique to students at Higashi Chikushi Gakuen High School. Kitakyushu&#8217;s advantageous location, surrounded by three seas, provides an abundant supply of sushi ingredients. Funahashi emphasized the importance of reviving and preserving sushi-making skills. Students expressed their admiration and newfound understanding of the intricacies involved in sushi preparation. This program aligns with ongoing efforts to establish Kitakyushu as a &#8220;sushi capital,&#8221; with plans for public sushi classes starting in September. <strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=12788275&#038;ymd=2024-06-11\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KBC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_sushi-experience-in-kitakyushu-kbc_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C790&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sushi Chefs Teach High School Students in Kitakyushu\" width=\"1400\" height=\"790\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-163686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_sushi-experience-in-kitakyushu-kbc_2024_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_sushi-experience-in-kitakyushu-kbc_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_sushi-experience-in-kitakyushu-kbc_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C578&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_sushi-experience-in-kitakyushu-kbc_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
