Should I work as a day shift sushi cook if I have no experience?

Working as a day shift sushi cook without experience is possible but challenging, as the role requires skills in knife handling, food safety, and sushi preparation techniques.

Starting in entry-level positions or assisting experienced cooks can help build necessary skills for this role.
