Ken and Sora were fabulous hosts. Such a fun time, lovely welcome, a nice small group so super interaction with great explanations and the sushi we made tasted really fresh having just been made by us! The matcha was so much better than I’d had just before at a cafe, really enjoyed the sake too! All in all, highly recommend 5🌟

The instructors were amazing, fun, and very accommodating. It was a great cultural experience. If you have a family this is a must do. The length of the class is just right. The sushi, sake , matcha and mochi were perfect. We did a 4:00 booking and it was a great dinner. We became sushi masters in 1.5 hrs. I give this a 5 star.

Main

Maki Sushi (Roll Sushi)

Maki means 'rolled sushi.' We use a bamboo mat to roll the rice and fillings inside a sheet of dried seaweed (Nori).

Main

Nigiri Sushi

Nigiri is the most famous style in Japan. It consists of a slice of fish placed on top of a small oval ball of rice.

Matcha

To finish our meal, let’s try making Matcha. Green tea is excellent for refreshing your palate after sushi.

SamIvan_L

I had an incredible time at this sushi-making class! Our instructor, Sensei Ken, was fantastic—he was extremely patient and made sure everyone in the group was taken care of, regardless of their skill level. He took the time to guide us through each step, ensuring our rolls actually looked as good as they tasted. Mary was a great assistant as well. She was so kind and very friendly, making the whole environment feel welcoming and fun. It was a truly memorable experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on activity. As a wonderful bonus, we also got to do some matcha making, which was the perfect way to round out the session.
