What to expect
You'll arrive and be introduced to the chef, who'll walk you through sushi's cultural background and the fundamentals of preparation. The bulk of the session is hands-on: you'll learn proper rice seasoning, nori handling, and rolling technique, working alongside the chef as they demonstrate each step. You'll make several pieces yourself, with guidance to correct technique as needed.
Once you've finished rolling, you'll plate up your own sushi and eat it straightaway. There's no time pressure — you can enjoy what you've made without rushing. The session wraps up after about three hours, and you'll leave with practical skills to attempt at home.
