In this August 3, 2015 photo, Yuki Chidui, sushi chef and manager at Nadeshico sushi restaurant, shows off a set of sushi she made at her all-women restaurant in Tokyo. Deeply rooted stereotypes such as the so-called “Edo-style” macho demeanor of sushi chefs and belief that warmer body temperature of women leads to inferior taste have kept sushi preparation an almost exclusively male domain in Japan. But some women are out to challenge tradition and are learning the art of sushi at a time when the government is emphasizing a greater role for women to offset Japan's shrinking workforce.
