The experience includes sake tasting, a participation certificate, and 10% discount at the on-site shop.

What to expect

After registering, you'll sit through a short film on Japanese knives before watching your instructor demonstrate proper grip and cutting angles. Then comes your turn: you'll practise on flour dumplings first to build confidence, then move to actual tuna or fish. For the tuna don session, you'll make the marinade sauce and assemble your bowl. Sushi participants learn to roll eggs beforehand, then craft nigiri or rolls. By the end you're eating what you've made, with optional sake to pair.
