The Land of the Rising Sun

To offer its Champion a unique and unforgettable experience, the European Sushi Championship provides a 6-day immersion in Tsuruoka, Japan, alongside Chef Suda Takeshi.

The Champion also has the opportunity to work alongside Chef Suda in the kitchen, take part in several gastronomic events, and create his own menu, which he then prepares with a Japanese brigade before presenting it to guests.

Far more than a simple trip, this experience allows the winner to fully immerse himself in Japanese culture and gastronomy, while continuing to learn from renowned professionals.

An experience centered on transmission, sharing, and excellence, offered by the European Sushi Championship to its Champion.
