What to expect

You'll arrive in a modern, low-key workshop space and be shown how to handle sushi rice, shape it, and top it cleanly with fish. The instructor walks through each step without rushing—no prior experience needed. You'll then make your own nigiri pieces, with staff on hand if you need a hand. Once finished, sit down with what you've made, sip tea, and taste your handiwork. The whole thing runs about 90 minutes. If the space is busy, you may share a table with other participants. Staff can snap photos on your phone if you opt for the traditional outfit.
