In-person class: Sushi Making Class with a Tokyo Chef (Chicago)

Roll like a pro — even if it's your first time!

Join our Chef Instructor, trained in Tokyo, for a fun, hands-on sushi-making experience! You'll learn to make sushi completely from scratch — cooking and seasoning the rice, prepping ingredients, and mixing your own sauce. Each step is broken down and demonstrated before you try it yourself, so it's easy to follow no matter your experience level.

What You Will Learn:

You'll make three rolls using two different techniques. First, you'll roll a California Roll and a Salmon Roll, American-style with the rice on the outside. Then you'll try the traditional Japanese method, rolling a Vegetable Roll with the nori (seaweed) on the outside. Along the way, you'll pick up real sushi-rolling technique you can take home and use again.

No Experience Necessary:

Whether you're here with family, a team from work, a group of neighbors, or on a date night, this class is designed to be casual, social, and beginner-friendly. No prior cooking experience is required, and you can participate in every step or simply enjoy the experience at your own pace. All ingredients, tools, and equipment are provided — all you need to bring is your appetite!
