Great team and teacher! The group really enjoyed the class
This was a very informative class, full of detail and yet easy to follow tips and techniques on making rolled sushi. At the end of the class we ate some of the sushi along with a glass of chilled, delicious sake and then took the rest home. The ingredients used were very high end and we left with our own sushi kit and white sesame seeds, which I thought made it excellent value.
I just attended the Sushi Master Class with Akemi. I had learned so much from Akemi and thoroughly enjoyed the day. If you are interested in gaining some skills in a wonderful environment, I would encourage you to join one of these classes. Michael.
