Sushi Making Class in Ninomiya, Kanagawa (Near Mt. Fuji)

While the word “sushi” conjures up images of bite-sized nigiri sushi and perfect slices of sashimi, not all types of sushi contain raw fish. There are so many different varieties of sushi in Japan, like hand-rolled balls of sushi (temari), colorful and creative sushi rolls (maki), delicious sushi rice topped with vegetables and slivers of egg (chirashi), and pockets of sweet fried tofu stuffed with sushi rice, veggies, and egg (kazari inari). In this sushi-making Class in Ninomiya, you can choose to make one of these four options. Each type is colorful, healthy, and packed with flavor!

And, of course, the foundation of delicious sushi is perfectly steamed and seasoned Japanese short-grain rice, which will also be covered in the class. You’ll also learn how to make delicious umami miso soup from scratch, starting by creating the dashi soup stock with bonito and kelp.

There are four menu options to choose from. They all come with miso soup:

(1) Kazari inari sushi: Pockets of fried tofu stuffed with egg and veggies

(2) Temari sushi: Hand-rolled sushi balls topped with eggs, fish, and veggies

(3) Chirashi sushi: Mixed sushi rice topped with colorful veggies and egg
