Want to delight your family and friends with freshly made sushi rolls?
Come and learn how to prepare this traditional Japanese dish from scratch using classic techniques. In this fun, hands-on social cooking class, you’ll learn all the skills needed to make sushi-rolls at home, including how to prepare sushi rice, select sushi-grade fish, and add additional tasty neta (ingredients) to enhance your dining experience. You’ll learn to make three types of sushi rolls: California Uramaki, Sake Tartare Maki and Veggie Futomaki.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check in. Street parking is available around the venue, as well as a paid parking garage located just a 3 min walk away at 1320 N Front Street. You will be seated with your booking party. The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only please!
Chef Alex is a Peruvian Chef who’s been in the industry for over 12 years, both in Peru and throughout a number of restaurants and hotels in the United States. He was born in Celendin (Cajamarca), a little town in the mountains of Peru, but he grew up in Callao on the coast of Lima where he learned all about seafood and the importance and beauty of fresh fish. His love for Japanese food started as a fusion of cultures, or as the Peruvians call it Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese). He also had the opportunity to work with sushi in Miami a couple years ago, where he learned the importance of simplicity and respect for the traditional Japanese method. Chef Alex loves all food and is also well-versed in pasta, as he had a little home restaurant back in Peru serving up fresh pasta dishes with quality ingredients. He is so happy to be your Chef instructor and very excited to express and share his passion for the culinary world!
