Nigirizushi Class
Dive deep and learn all there is to know about one of Japan’s signature dishes, Nigirizushi
At this point in time, we believe that it is not too far-fetched to say that Nigirizushi – more commonly known as Sushi – is one of the first things that comes to most people’s minds when they hear the name Japan.
The Hokuriku Region, with its close proximity to the Sea of Japan, boasts some of the nation’s best and freshest seafood. The locals regularly enjoy sushi, and this creates a thriving sushi scene.
In this class, we invite you to step into one of the best sushi restaurants in Kanazawa and learn all there is to know about this beloved dish from a chef who has dedicated their life to mastering the art of sushi-making.
Class Overview
Everything is prepared for you. This includes in-season fish from the Sea of Japan, local sushi rice, and miso soup to finish the meal. The head chef regularly goes fishing, and if you are lucky, you might get to taste something that he catches himself.
Here is what you will get to do:
① Listen to a detailed explanation of each ingredient that is used in the class, while also enjoying a conversation with the chef. No worries if you don’t speak Japanese, our staff will be there to translate and ensure a smooth communication between you and the chef.
② Watch the chef demonstrate how to slice a fish for the perfect sushi cut. For health and safety reasons, please note that you will not be allowed to handle a knife in the class.
③ Try your hands on making 10 pieces of sushi for yourself with detailed instructions from the chef.
④ Enjoy the fruits of your hard work, and taste the fresh sushi that you made along with a special sushi soy sauce. To make sure that nothing goes to waste, the chef will also prepare a special dish from the leftover sushi rice for you if time allows.
The class lasts for around two hours, and is held directly at a sushi restaurant in the heart of downtown Kanazawa. You will not only get to make your very own, authentic nigirizushi, but also get to have a meaningful conversation with the chef, listen to their story on why they decided to pursue the art, and hear how they are doing so.
