Born in 1956 in Kamakura, KEN KAWASUMI began his sushi career at the age of sixteen at top sushi bars in Kamakura. He soon began developing his own style of decorative sushi and went on to win the Tokyo Television TV Champion Third and Fourth Annual Awards, the Championship of the National Professional Nigiri Competition, and top honors at the National Sushi Awards. Currently, he operates his own sushi bar in Yokohama (Sushisho Kawasumi) and teaches sushi classes at many schools. He is the author of Sushi for Parties (Graph-sha/Japan Publications, 1996).
Anyone who believes there's nothing new in the world of cooking hasn't seen Ken Kawasumi's Encyclopedia of Sushi Rolls. Because sushi appears fresh now even in American grocery stores, basic sushi preparation hardly surprises anyone. But Kawasumi takes classic Japanese rolls of vinegared rice, vegetables, and seafood into another plane by using special techniques to form all kinds of cunning little flowers, animals, and abstract designs. By staining the rice with different hues, he creates a Technicolor palette for the sushi-loving palate. Most astonishing are Kawasumi's sushi rolls that duplicate all twenty-six letters of the English alphabet. These sushi rolls rival the most elaborate cake decorations in their wondrous marriage of food and art. Mark Knoblauch
