Welcome to Shinsei Sushi Academy
Where Tradition Meets a New Generation of Culinary Excellence
Nestled in the heart of London, Shinsei Sushi Academy is more than a school—it's a sanctuary for the art of sushi. Founded by the legendary master chef Tsumori Hayenami, the Academy upholds the discipline, precision, and grace of traditional Edomae sushi while embracing the innovation and diversity that define the spirit of modern London. "Shinsei," meaning "rebirth" or "new generation," perfectly embodies our mission: to preserve the ancient craft of sushi while inspiring a bold, new generation of chefs.
Our Philosophy
Shinsei is not just about technique; it's about honoring the deep cultural heritage that sushi represents. At our Academy, students learn the philosophy of sushi-making—the patience, humility, and dedication that transform simple ingredients into extraordinary experiences. With a balance of traditional wisdom and contemporary flair, we are committed to nurturing chefs who will shape the future of sushi worldwide.
At Shinsei Sushi Academy, students are guided by Tsumori Hayenami himself, along with a team of elite instructors. Through immersive training, apprentices gain the knowledge, skills, and respect essential to creating true sushi art. Our curriculum is designed for those who seek mastery—from sourcing the freshest, most sustainable ingredients to perfecting each cut and movement. Here, every detail matters, and every plate tells a story.
Whether you're an aspiring sushi chef or a culinary enthusiast, we invite you to be part of this journey. Join us at Shinsei Sushi Academy, and discover the art of sushi in a way you've never experienced before.
Our Vision
At Shinsei Sushi Academy, we envision a world where the art of sushi transcends borders and cultures, creating a vibrant community of culinary innovators. Our goal is to inspire not only skilled chefs but also passionate food enthusiasts who appreciate the beauty and intricacy of sushi-making. We believe that sushi is not just a dish; it is an experience—a fusion of flavors, aesthetics, and traditions that can bring people together.
We are dedicated to fostering an environment where creativity and tradition coexist harmoniously. By encouraging our students to explore their unique culinary identities while respecting the foundational techniques of sushi, we aim to cultivate a new wave of sushi chefs who are not afraid to push boundaries. Our vision is to celebrate the versatility of sushi, allowing students to experiment with diverse ingredients and presentation styles that reflect their personal journeys.
Shinsei Sushi Academy also seeks to engage with the local community and beyond. We aspire to host workshops, cultural exchanges, and collaborative events that highlight the art of sushi while promoting sustainable practices in the culinary world. By inviting guest chefs, participating in food festivals, and conducting outreach programs, we aim to create a dialogue that enhances the appreciation of sushi as a global culinary art form.
Through our vision, we hope to establish Shinsei Sushi Academy not just as a school but as a cultural hub for culinary excellence and innovation, where tradition meets creativity, and every student has the opportunity to shine.
