Transform from enthusiast to certified sushi chef under the guidance of a Michelin-recognized master itamae.

Michelin Star Kitchen
30+ Years Experience • Former Head Chef, Sukiyabashi Jiro Affiliate
Yamamoto-san trained for 12 years before touching his first fish. His philosophy: sushi is 80% rice, 20% topping, and 100% respect. He has personally trained 23 chefs who now run their own establishments across Japan, New York, and London. His quiet intensity and exacting standards will push you beyond what you thought possible.
Shari (Rice) Mastery
You'll wash rice until your hands memorize the motion. Learn the 23-step process to perfect sushi rice. By week's end, you'll understand why masters say "sushi is rice."
Knife Work & Fish Preparation
Your knife becomes an extension of your hand. Master the five essential cuts. Learn to read fish—its freshness, origin, optimal preparation. Daily sessions at Toyosu with the masters.
Nigiri Technique
Two movements, three seconds, one perfect piece. The hand pressure, the rice count, the marriage of fish and shari. You'll make 500 pieces before the first one satisfies Yamamoto-san.
Full Omakase (8-12 Courses)
You'll serve a complete omakase to real guests. Reading the room, pacing each course, the choreography of hospitality. Your certification dinner—friends and family invited.
Daily 5AM visits. Watch the famous tuna auctions. Build relationships with vendors who've supplied Tokyo's best for generations.

Delhi → Rishikesh → Dharamsala • 25-28 Days
Walk the path where yoga was born. Train on the banks of the Ganges. Conclude with Tibetan teachings and potential blessing from the Dalai Lama.
The Ganges moves past you in the pre-dawn darkness. Incense rises from a thousand temples. You fold into your first Surya Namaskar as the sun breaks over the Himalayas. This isn't a yoga retreat—it's a pilgrimage to where it all began.

Possible Dalai Lama Audience
E-RYT 500 • 25 Years Teaching • Born in Rishikesh
Ananda grew up watching her grandmother practice on the ghats of Rishikesh. She trained under three masters across India before teaching at ashrams in Mysore, Pune, and her home city.

RYA Yachtmaster Ocean • 40,000+ NM Logged • Former ARC Rally Skipper
James crossed his first ocean at 22 and never looked back. He's skippered Atlantic crossings for the ARC rally, delivered yachts from Cape Town to the Caribbean, and trained over 300 sailors to RYA certification. His calm in storms is legendary—because he's seen everything the ocean can throw. He teaches through trust: you will helm in conditions that scare you, and you will emerge confident.
