For Take our kids to work day 2022, I spent a day at my friend’s sushi shop!

When I was at my workplace, I heard the sound of people chattering, and hurrying around. I noticed how some people were browsing the shops while others were in a hurry. From the back, I heard the dicing of vegetables to be put into the sushi, and the sound of ingredients sizzling in the deep frier.
I saw a lot of people passing by, looking for something to eat. Some people came and bought sushi in the morning, and a lot came to buy something to eat during lunch as well. When I looked around I saw a lot of different types of stores, all in different sizes.
As the sushi and the bento boxes were being made one after another, the smell of spices started to fill the air. I really enjoyed the smell of miso soup, as well as the deep fried tempura. I’ve never seen sushi being made before, and the fresh ingredients smelled quite tasty.

As I sat behind the cashier, I realized how a lot of the customers had relationships with owners. When someone would buy sushi, often there would be nice conversations. To me, that would be something that would encourage me to come to work everyday, because I get to catch up with people that I know, as well as make them a nice meal. I also find it pretty cool to have returning customers. To me, that means that I did a good job at creating food that they liked, which is always nice to know.
