raw fish combined with sweet, vinegared rice, Todd goes behind
the scenes at Tokyos fish market. Join Todd as he visits

and the sushi academy for a glimpse of the rigorous
requirements to become a sushi chef. Then its back to

techniques in his own kitchen."

He also has a Japanese BEEF episode that I haven't seen.
