This is a must do workshop for any home cook who wants to be able to produce Kyoto Sushi for their family and friends. It is easier to make than the Tokyo sushi which is more widely known. I attended this Kyoto Sushi Making workshop lead by Mitsuru, the third generation chef running the restaurant. He explained a little of the history of sushi and in particular the differences between Kyoto and Tokyo in terms of sushi style. He also showed the technique for sharpening the sushi knife as it cannot be sharpened by a knife sharpener like western knives. An important difference is also the vinegar used and he explained about the two types and how they are made. Then he took me step by step through making Kyoto Sushi getting me to follow his example and do it for myself. Some elements like the rice and the diced shitake mushrooms he had already prepared. He guided me to an end result that looked surprisingly okay for a first attempt. The proof was in the eating and it tasted very good. It was a very enjoyable and worthwhile two hours. Mitsuru is clear in his explanations and uses visuals to help understanding. He also gives many pointers from his experience of running a very successful sushi restaurant.

A great class cooking - ramen and gyoza. It was like being with friends, talking, chopping, preparing, cooking, and most importantly, eating the afternoon away. We prepared 2 ramen - one traditional with the lightest broth and the second with chicken and soy milk, a delicious surprise. Can’t wait to make it at home for my friends. And our gyoza weren’t too bad either. We highly recommend any one of the classes offered, you won’t be disappointed.

We loved this cooking experience with Kaori! Kaori is lovely and welcomed us into her home to teach us how to make Ramen and Gyoza. Kaori was happy to answer all of our questions and give us tips on how to cook traditional Japanese food. This was a highlight of our trip to Japan and would highly recommend!
