The knife is he work tools, everyday he need use the knife to kill many different type fish and use the bamboo Sushi Mat to make sushi roll, place a sheet of nori on sushi mat and spread a ball of sushi rice on top, my friend tell me it is very hard for him when begin this job, because many time it not stick properly when rolling, boss complain him many time and he feel very sadness . It all changed when my friend kill the fish and knife very sharp cut his hand, when his hand are full of bloody hand he feel pain like many ant bit him, but his boss just tell him continue to work, many customer waiting for you, his Sushi Mat all full the his bloody, he talk me in that moment he really want to cry.
