Immerse yourself in the traditional Edomae sushi experience with an exclusive hands-on masterclass, conveniently located just a stone's throw away from Tokyo Station. Under the expert guidance of Satoshi—a seasoned sushi chef and academy instructor fluent in English, Japanese and Chinese—you'll step into an authentic Japanese home to delve into the art, history and culture that underpins Tokyo's iconic culinary style.
You'll uncover the secrets behind seasoning rice with traditional akazu (red vinegar), the signature ingredient that imparts Edomae sushi with its distinct, balanced flavour. Satoshi will lead you through each stage, teaching you how to handle fresh ingredients, hone your knife skills and master the art of traditional hand-shaping techniques.
During this practical session, you'll have the opportunity to create approximately 10 custom nigiri pieces and one sushi roll under expert supervision. The small group sizes ensure personalised attention and ample opportunity to ask questions about the heritage, philosophy and presentation of authentic sushi.
Everything you need is provided for you: premium ingredients, fresh seafood, tools and equipment. Once you've finished preparing your sushi, you can sit back and relish your handcrafted meal in a relaxed environment. This masterclass is ideal for both beginners and passionate food enthusiasts alike!
