Great Big Story takes us inside Tokyo’s unique Nadeshiko Sushi restaurant with this short doc, “Fighting Sexism With Sushi”.

Myths persist that women’s hands are too warm for raw fish, their makeup will block their sense of smell and their menstrual cycles affect their sense of taste. Nadeshiko Sushi is challenging all of that with Japan’s first and only all-female sushi restaurant in Tokyo. There, seven women prove it doesn’t take a man to make a mean sushi plate.
