What You’ll Do

Discover a world of Japanese culinary techniques as you prepare maki, summer rolls and nigiri.

Practice and perfect your knife skills for a mouthwatering meal of sushi and nigiri. In this cooking class, Chef Justin will demonstrate and teach the proper techniques for making delicate, symmetrical slices of fresh fish to go in or on sushi rolls or sticky rice.

Learn how to make two different rolls like a pro: Sushi rolls, using a traditional bamboo mat, and shrimp summer rolls with flexible rice paper. Next, you'll masterfully wield chef knives as you slice fresh fish to enjoy nigiri style, and end by tasting creamy strawberry mochi ice cream.

Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Justin is fantastic. Punctual and prepared, he facilitated a great birthday event of sushi making for my wife with our friends at home. Highly recommend and we will be reaching out to Justin again in the future.

Chef Justin was great! He really helped make my wife’s birthday special. He also contributed to me trying sushi for the first time and I enjoyed it. He was very personable and turned this novice guy into an honorary sushi chef. I’d definitely recommend his services and my wife and I are already planning our next event with him.

Had an AMAZING time with Chef Justin. So sweet and genuine, and he knew what he was doing. He is very professional and neat, and came perfectly on time and engaged with all of us. Could not recommend any higher!
