Sushi Making Classes in New York City

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.
