Chef Fuyuhiko Ito Japanese Peeling Technique 

Chef Fuyuhiko Ito from Umi shows one of the most important parts of sushi, peeling cucumber. This is a skill that sushi chefs must practice every day. Chef Ito first cuts the cucumber into three pieces, then carefully peels the first layer of skin off of the cucumber. He rolls the cucumber with the blade until he sees the seeds. Chef Ito then cuts the cucumber skin into three pieces and places them on top of each other. Lastly, Chef Ito cuts the three skins into several elongated pieces for sushi rolls.
