What to expect
You'll start with the fundamentals—rice temperature, knife grip, hand positioning—before moving into rolling and shaping. The instructor watches as you prepare each piece, offering corrections and tips in real time. Expect to feel the resistance of nori, the stickiness of properly seasoned rice, the weight of a good knife. The class flows between demonstration and hands-on practice. By the end you'll have made enough to eat a proper lunch, plated by you. Bring an apron or wear something you don't mind getting sticky.
Good to know
Book for at least two people. The studio sits a short walk from transport links. Those with spinal issues should flag this beforehand. Vegan and vegetarian substitutions aren't offered, so check the wagyu-based menu suits you. Wear comfortable clothes; you'll be standing and working with your hands for 90 minutes.
