Sushi doesn't get more participatory and fun for a group than with chirashizushi (zushi being another word for sushi, in accordance with Japanese grammar rules), or with colorful trays of unique oshizushi pressed-sushi. This class is designed for eating a lot of sushi, or taking home a lot of sushi for eating soon after. In other words, if there's any left, you'll take your tray of gorgeous sushi home for dinner.
On the menu
We’ll start with some quick pickled ginger, and learn the secrets of perfect sushi rice.
We’ll create a beautiful chirashi bowl, using the washoku principles of traditional Japanese food preparation. Our fillings will reflect the colors and tastes of the season and region, from late-summer vegetables to both cooked and raw seafood.
Need a new skill? Try your hand at kinshi tamago (egg ribbons).
We’ll throw ourselves a sushi party and eat our chirashi temaki style, each person making hand rolls with their favorite ingredients at the table.
Then we’ll learn the secret to quickly making trays and trays of bite-size sushi, letting our inner artist out as we make an oshizushi tray (Osaka-style pressed sushi) using a surprising tool.
