Cooking class: Maki and more – beginner sushi course

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Japanese cuisine and learn the art of sushi preparation from scratch! Our beginner sushi course “Maki and more” offers you the perfect opportunity to learn the basics of sushi making and roll your own first creations.

Course content:

  • Preparing sushi rice: discover how to cook the perfect sushi rice and refine it with a specially made marinade. Rice is the centrepiece of every sushi dish and we show you how to prepare it properly.
  • Homemade sushi ginger: Learn how to pickle fresh sushi ginger yourself. This is not only served as a side dish, but also provides the necessary freshness between the individual sushi bites.
  • Nikiri soy sauce: Refine your sushi creations with a homemade Nikiri soy sauce. This sweet soya sauce, which is traditionally brushed onto the sushi, gives your rolls that certain something.
  • Different maki rolls: Familiarise yourself with the different techniques and fillings used for maki rolls. From the classic hoso maki to the Californian California roll and the sumptuous futomaki – we will show you how to prepare each roll to perfection.

Who is this course suitable for?

This course is aimed at all sushi lovers who would like to try their hand at making sushi themselves. Whether you have little or no experience in preparing sushi, you’ve come to the right place!

You are also welcome to bring Tupperware boxes or similar to take along your home-made creations that cannot be eaten on site.

Our unique event is returning! A date is being planned, but the exact date and location is not yet 100% certain.
