Sushi Making Classes in New York City

There’s always room for improvement in the kitchen. But on top of tweaking your skills, taking a class can expand the possibilities in your kitchen. Sometimes you can get stuck in a recipe rut, making the same meals over and over again because they’re quick or easy to make.

When it comes to changing things up, there’s nothing more exciting than a meal that lets you experience the culture of East Asia right from your dining room. Sushi making classes are perfect for their hands-on learning and novel techniques. Plus, this dish is best learned from a professional as they can provide unique insight and tips. What’s more, we make our sushi making class NYC experience fun and lively for everyone. It’s a win-win!

A Brief History of Sushi and Its Preparation?

The origins of sushi are somewhat mysterious. Though it is believed to have originated in China in the fourth century, the Japanese are credited with first preparing it as a complete dish, eating fermented rice together with the preserved fish in a combination known as nare-zushi.

Today, sushi is arguably one of the most popular dishes among Asian cuisine. It is made of small pieces of raw fish wrapped in rice and seaweed (known as nori in Japanese).

The best sushi is made by hand and is commonly prepared with spices such as ginger root and fermented garlic. In Japan, to become an itamae, or sushi chef, you must complete years of training and apprenticeship. Fortunately, with the right ingredients and a CocuSocial sushi making class NYC session, you can learn the art of making a proper sushi roll much more quickly!
