21

Jeff Larson, an American chef, visits Touzai Chief Tanimura looking find to work as a chef in a Japanese restaurant to improve his skills and he even brings his own knife. Tanimura takes him to the "West Coast" restaurant which has franchises in the United States. The sushi chef skillfully prepares sashimi with great showmanship, but Jeff says the sashimi is below par and Yamaoka agrees. Yamaoka challenges the chef to a chilled perch competition in a week's time. Yamaoka takes Jeff a sushi bar where the chef Oofuji takes Jeff on as an apprentice. He gets Jeff to practice how to properly use a knife by shaving a daikon radish, followed by the secrets of cutting a fish and its preparation. A week later, Jeff wins the competition back at the West Coast restaurant, but graciously also respects the skills of the chef. (Source: Wikipedia)
