Learn to make sushi rolls with professional instructor Yuki
Create flower-shaped sushi rolls using naturally pink beetroot-infused vinegared rice
Sushi rolls are deliciously filling. Trying to make some yourself may seem intimidating, but anything is possible when you’ve got a friendly cooking instructor to teach you the ways. This sushi-making class is one for home chefs ready to take on the challenge.
Yuki, your host, is a professional cooking instructor. She studied the principles of washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine) from a professional chef who used to cook for the Japanese imperial family and celebrities.
Yuki has appeared on Japanese TV many times, and loves to share her knowledge of washoku, or Japanese cuisine. Let her guide you through making not only yummy but beautiful sushi rolls in this hands-on experience.
You’ll also learn a great deal about washoku, and how traditional Japanese cuisine is engrained in everyday life. In addition to newly picked up cooking skills (and a take-home recipe to prove it), you’ll have lots of interesting info to share with your friends and family back home.
The host carefully selects the ingredients you’ll use. And even though you’ll be making colorful sushi rolls, this cooking class doesn’t use artificial food coloring, so guests will also learn how to dye rice a vibrant shade of pink!
And if learning how to make sushi rolls is not enough, consider supplementing this class with one of the many options (details below). Yuki offers a few lessons on Japanese cooking basics and a tour package if you want to squeeze in some sightseeing! You can learn to cook Japanese rice using a rice cooker (cooking using a pot is also available upon request) or how to make miso soup using dashi and homemade miso.
Meeting point is the bus stop (Ishiyamahigashi 7 chome)
Upon booking, please specify if you’re traveling by car, and Yuki can share information about parking at her place

The class is taught by Yuki, a professional cooking instructor trained in traditional Japanese cuisine (washoku) with experience cooking for the Japanese imperial family and celebrities.

Total 5 members of my family including 2 children joined this food class and got wonderful and unforgettable experience there.
We got warm welcoming from the host and the atmosphere of the house was quiet, peaceful and cozy.
The host's explanation was easy and well understandable, and all food we made were fun and delicious!!
We will join the next food class here when we visit Sapporo again.
I highly recommend others to visit and experience this unique, fun and wonderful food making class..

We had an incredibly fun time learning to make decorative sushi and onigiri with Yuki!
Yuki was an amazing host and teacher and was very patient with us. She also picked us up and dropped us off from the train station which was very helpful! As well as the lesson, she also gave us lots of local recommendations for food around Sapporo and we had lots of laughs and good times.
