About
Sushi has always been hand-made for special occasions in Japan. From old times to the present, sushi is made with vegetables or fish that are fresh in season. It’s not necessary to spend a fortune on sushi ingredients. That’s the true spirit of homemade sushi! You’ll be learning the most essential skills of sushi-making as well as somewhat more elaborate dishes from regional & traditional sushi to a kaiseki inspired dish.
Menu Temari sushi: Kyoto-style, eye pleasing tiny sphere-shaped sushi Futomaki: shiitake mushroom, mitsuba, tamago, etc. Rainbow Roll: California roll topped with strips of sashimi & vegetables. Zuke: savory sauce marinated tuna, one of the Edo-mae traditional cooking technique. Spicy tuna/salmon hand roll. Tamagoyaki: baked egg & seafood paste, it’s sweet and savory, often served at the end of a sushi dinner. Gari: pickled ginger in sweet vinegar sauce. Blanched spinach with sesame sauce.
