Overview

Grab your apron and prepare to roll up something remarkable. In this culinary experience, you’re not just following a recipe — you’re sculpting, folding, and creating tiny masterpieces that celebrate Japanese artistry. With a chef as your guide, you’ll learn to transform simple ingredients into something extraordinary, piece by piece.

From a rich and savory Spicy Tuna Roll to a crispy-fresh Cucumber Roll and a colorful Veggie Hand Roll, you’ll prepare a trio of classics. To round off your meal, you’ll treat yourself to creamy Matcha Ice Cream and sip a sparkling yuzu mint soda — a sweet and invigorating finale to a rich, hands-on experience.

Whether you’re a first-timer eager to learn or a home cook looking to elevate your skills, this class is designed for all food lovers who appreciate creativity, culture, and connection. It is a chance to bring people together, celebrate Japanese cuisine, and make lasting memories, one roll at a time.
