This is a must do workshop for any home cook who wants to be able to produce Kyoto Sushi for their family and friends. It is easier to make than the Tokyo sushi which is more widely known. I attended this Kyoto Sushi Making workshop lead by Mitsuru, the third generation chef running the restaurant. He explained a little of the history of sushi and in particular the differences between Kyoto and Tokyo in terms of sushi style. He also showed the technique for sharpening the sushi knife as it cannot be sharpened by a knife sharpener like western knives. An important difference is also the vinegar used and he explained about the two types and how they are made. Then he took me step by step through making Kyoto Sushi getting me to follow his example and do it for myself. Some elements like the rice and the diced shitake mushrooms he had already prepared. He guided me to an end result that looked surprisingly okay for a first attempt. The proof was in the eating and it tasted very good. It was a very enjoyable and worthwhile two hours. Mitsuru is clear in his explanations and uses visuals to help understanding. He also gives many pointers from his experience of running a very successful sushi restaurant.

The Soy Sauce Tasting and pairing was a very good experience and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to learn more about Japanese soya sauce or who wants to add a little more taste variation and refinement to their home cooking. Akane explained clearly and with visuals some of the history of soya sauce and how it is produced including the variation of ingredients and the results that produces. We then moved on to the tasting of 6 different Japanese soya sauces to understand what the difference was in taste and also to see which ones I preferred. The next step was matching each soya sauce with two types of fish and beef. Again to see the differences and also my preferences. It was for me a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience with Akane answering many questions based on her exploration and study of Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese soya sauces. She has a valuable knowledge to tap into for those interested.

Time flew by! We had an amazing and super educational morning with Miho. Learned a ton, and really feel closer to the Japanese kitchen now. She also helped us decode the supermarket and gave tips for gifts and treats to bring back. We highly recommend taking this class!
