Female Sushi Chef Miki Izumisawa is Pushing the Boundaries of Tradition

In this episode of "Sushi Chef," we meet Miki Izumisawa, a female sushi chef who is pushing boundaries with an all-women staff.

Meet Miki Izumisawa, the female sushi chef who is pushing the boundaries of traditional sushi with nature-inspired fusion dishes.

For the last 15 years, Miki Izumisawa has been quietly forging a path for female sushi chefs while creating cuisine that blurs the line between art and food. From her 21-seat restaurant overlooking the ocean in the Southern California community of Laguna Beach, Miki transforms elements of the natural world into sashimi and rolls with names such as Moon & Sun, Lava Flow, and Feather in the Sky. Miki’s style is anything but conventional, but her one rule? No soy sauce.
