Kara became an instructor with Sushi by Simon in 2009. She brings to our team a strong background in teaching, years of cooking experience, and first-hand knowledge of Japan and Japanese cuisine. For seven years, while living in Kyoto, Kara practiced the art of Japanese cooking. She learned recipes, techniques and secrets from some of the best cooks she could find--the women in her neighborhood. When not at sushi events, Kara spends her time making hand-pinched, Japanese-inspired pottery. Here at Sushi by Simon we are fortunate to offer Kara's sushiware!
