Sushi Classes at Home

A typical sushi night at many Japanese restaurants can cost anywhere from $45 to $90 per person. For the past 21 years, our classes have helped sushi enthusiasts bring that experience home by teaching the skills needed to create high-quality sushi themselves — making it possible to enjoy fresher, more personalized sushi while avoiding the rising costs of dining out.

Sushi Classes Sizes

We’re happy to host classes for groups of 6 to 20 people. As long as the class expenses are covered, we welcome sushi lovers of all experience levels to explore their passion and learn the fundamentals of creating outstanding sushi at home.

Catering to a Safe Menu

In today’s world, dietary preferences and food allergies are more important than ever. Whether you need gluten-free alternatives, low-sodium soy sauce, cooked-only seafood, or a completely shellfish-free experience, we’re happy to accommodate your needs.

Vegetarians and Vegans Welcome

Great sushi is about far more than just the fish. In fact, the quality of sushi depends on a balance of technique, rice preparation, texture, and fresh ingredients working together in harmony. For guests who prefer vegetarian options, we’re happy to provide a colorful variety of roasted peppers, crisp vegetables, and flavorful ingredients to create sushi that is every bit as satisfying and delicious.

No Deposit Required

We believe booking a sushi class should be simple and stress-free, which is why we don’t require deposits that could place unnecessary obligations on you, your home, or your business. We’re happy to review your class details and confirm everything before the event. Unexpected weather, scheduling conflicts can happen, and we’re always willing to work with you to keep your commitments and stress to a minimum.

Class Set-up - We Handle Everything

No matter the size of your space, we work closely with you to make sure the class is comfortable, organized, and enjoyable for everyone involved. Depending on the class size, we typically arrive about an hour early to unload supplies and prepare the setup, while larger groups may require additional preparation time.

Surprises from Japan

Our sushi instructor regularly travels throughout Japan, and students often receive small surprises brought directly from Japan to make each class even more memorable. There’s never an additional charge for these special touches — they’re simply our way of making the experience feel a little more authentic and extra special.
