A professional sushi chef from Tama Sushi, accompanied by an English-speaking interpreter, will walk you through the process of assembling nigiri with fresh toppings like salmon, bluefin tuna (maguro) and shrimp. You’ll complete your six-piece sushi set with a salted salmon roe gunkan (battleship roll) and a hand rolled temaki sushi expertly crafted by the chef.
Watch the chef grate real wasabi and display his precise bamboo leaf-cutting (sasagiri) skills. You'll taste and compare your sushi and to that of the sushi master.
