Christian Kai Hayter

Culinary Student

My love for food began in my grandmother's kitchen, inspiring me to deepen my connection to Japanese cuisine.
After Leiths, the Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku was the perfect next step.
Learning Japanese techniques and knife skills here is bringing me closer to my dream of owning a restaurant in Japan.

I’ve always loved Japanese food but never had the chance to study it.
After focusing on French cuisine in college, I followed my heart to the Tokyo College of Sushi & Washoku.
Winning a scholarship made it feel meant to be.
The structured lessons and chef support have exceeded my expectations, and as a first-generation student,
I’m excited to keep learning.

Partner at Chotto Matte

I’m thrilled to see a dedicated sushi and Japanese cuisine college opening in London—it couldn’t come at a better time.
For years, we’ve struggled to find skilled sushi chefs and even considered starting our own training program.
With Japanese cuisine’s incredible growth, It’s crucial to have talented chefs ensuring quality.
This college is a fantastic step forward, and I’m excited to support it and recruit top talent!
