The room smells of steamed rice and toasted nori as you take a spot at a long communal table in a low-lit brewery event space. Chef Sunshine greets the group with quick, confident movements—measuring rice, offering a wet towel, and demonstrating the exact pressure to form an onigiri. Conversations pause; laughter starts again when someone’s first hand roll falls apart. This is less performance than practice: hands-on, iterative, and sociable.
