In this class, you realize that what we often think of as “sushi” today is just a small part of a much larger and more diverse tradition.

The reason I created this class is to share the comfort and joy of mutual understanding and friendship through the experience of food.

I am an artist who has worked in both traditional Japanese arts and the world of Japanese cuisine.

Through this path, I’ve come to understand that “tradition” is not a single correct form, but rather a rich and diverse collection of cultures shaped over time.

That belief—and my multidisciplinary background—is at the heart of what makes this experience unique.

While the definition of tradition differs from person to person, I believe one key to imagine the way people lived before the Industrial Revolution.

Experiencing different cultures and discovering what connects us can fundamentally change how we see the world. I believe that is one of the most enriching experiences we can have.

What To Expect

We will meet at JR Musashi-Sakai Station at 10:00 AM. From there, we’ll drive you to our home in our private car. In this 3-hour sushi-making workshop, you'll learn to create six types of plant-based sushi using seasonal ingredients and traditional Japanese tools. You’ll begin by exploring the meaning and evolution of “sushi.” You’ll also learn how to make sushi rice by mixing it with vinegar. Then, with hands-on guidance, you’ll make bellow -Nigiri (hand-pressed sushi with toppings) -Gunkan -Inarizushi (tofu pouches with rice) -Mehari(rice is wrapped in a leafy green.) -Hosomaki (thin seaweed rolls) -Temari (ball-shaped sushi) You’ll also practice using traditional tools for example Japanese kitchen knives. At the end, enjoy the sushi you made yourself—and it is also nice to exchange and try the sushi made by others in the group. The class is vegan and open to all—no experience required. All equipment is carefully washed and sanitized before your use. Please be aware that some tools may also be used for cooking fish or meat outside of this vegan class.
