Develop and refine your sushi skills under the tutelage of the world’s greatest sushi masters

Learning traditional skills in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere

We were delighted to welcome 22 curious beginners, keen amateur cooks, and sushi enthusiasts to our introductory class for non-professionals, held on Saturday 4th October. After a foundational seminar, participants were divided into small groups to learn basic sushi-making techniques from five of the world’s leading sushi masters. Participants had the chance to make - and taste! - a variety of different sushi techniques, from how to make the perfect rice for sushi, to simple and easy ways to enjoy fresh sushi in their own homes.

Brains full of new insight, and bellies full of delicious, home-made sushi, all of our participants seemed to enjoy the warm and relaxed atmosphere, with many expressing regret that they could not take their instructors home for an extended lesson! The workshop was a great opportunity to learn how to bring a healthy, stylish and increasingly loved cuisine into the everyday home, and the chefs were delighted at the number of students pledging to try out what they had learnt with their friends and family.

The workshop covered the following aspects of sushi-making, instructed by five leading chefs of three different nationalities, including Head Tutor Masayoshi Kazato, Vice President of the All Japan Sushi Association International Division.

All attendees received a certificate of completion signed by the instructors, an accompanying sushi handbook, a sushi ingredients kit, an apron, and information about where to buy sushi ingredients. They were also able to enjoy the sushi that they had made, as well as that prepared by their professional instructors.
