Experience Details

When learning to make sushi, nothing beats the insight of an experienced chef who has spent decades honing the craft.


In this sushi-making session, learn the traditional processes and long-standing techniques that professionals use when crafting sushi at the highest level.

With step-by-step guidance by your host, you’ll then get hands-on making your own sushi meal consisting of four pieces of nigiri topped with egg, salmon, tuna and swordfish, as well as one kappamaki roll filled with cucumber and wrapped in seaweed, a sushi staple that is both crunchy and refreshing.
