Moving to japan as a chef is very confusing

I understand the process of requiring a company to sponsor you and make the COE.

But under the visas, ive heard of two that may help. SSW and skilled labour. However for the skilled labour i have heard mixed comments about it.

Such as requiring 10years of experience despite having a degree, or just having one is enough. Is there anyway to clarify this? (Even the immigration couldnt give me a clear answer)

As for SSW, is it as bad as it seems? I understand that there has been various articles about abuse, the living and financial situation, and that there is no point if this visa if you have a degree. But a school i am looking into offers it (it boasts a 100% pass rate), and its a decent vocational school that isnt cheap. If the visa is so bad why would the school boast about it?

I am currently looking for the quickest way to move to japan as a chef, but at the same time in a non stupid way. I am forgoing opportunities working/interning in higher end restaurants for a chance to immigrate and work in Japan. Any help and advice regarding this is appreciated :))
