A wonderful experience and little slices of heaven! - Tucked away in a cozy corner of the city lies an experience that transcends the ordinary dining affair. This place isn’t just another Japanese restaurant—it's an immersive journey into the art of sushi-making that transforms curious diners into confident culinary artists.
From the moment you step out the elevator door, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that perfectly balances traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comfort. The staff's genuine warmth immediately puts you at ease, making it clear this won't be just another meal—it's going to be an adventure.
What truly sets this place apart is their unique "Master the Roll" experience. With captivating storytelling that would rival any history professor, she traces sushi's evolution from its humble beginnings as a preservation method in Southeast Asia to its refinement in Edo-period Japan. The instructor’s passion is infectious, and her ability to weave historical facts with humorous anecdotes keeps everyone hanging on every word.
There will be a quiz! lol
Then comes the moment everyone's been waiting for—the hands-on experience. At your own pristinely prepared workspace, you'll find professional-grade tools and the freshest ingredients imaginable. The attention to detail is impressive: perfectly seasoned rice, fish so fresh it practically gleams, and meticulously prepared vegetables.The team guides you through each step with the patience of zen masters, from the proper way to handle rice (no squeezing!) to the precise angle for positioning the sliced fish.
What's remarkable is how they've mastered the art of instruction across language barriers. Every demonstration is crystal clear, supported by both verbal explanations and visual guides. They've thought of everything—from illustrated recipe cards to helpful markers on the bamboo rolling mats showing exactly where to place ingredients. The staff seamlessly switches between Japanese and English, ensuring no detail is lost in translation.
The atmosphere during the class is electric with excitement. As you attempt your first roll, you'll hear encouraging cheers from the staff and fellow participants. There's something magical about watching a table of strangers transform into a community of aspiring sushi chefs, sharing tips and laughing together at their creative attempts. The staff encourages experimentation, showing you how to make everything from traditional maki to contemporary fusion rolls with unexpected ingredients.
By the session's end, you'll have mastered several different styles of sushi, each more impressive than the last. The pride you'll feel when presenting your final creation—perhaps a perfectly balanced dragon roll with crispy tempura and avocado—is matched only by the satisfaction of tasting your handiwork. And yes, you get to enjoy every single piece you make, accompanied by premium sake if you choose.
The experience concludes with Kiwami telling us to make sure we enjoy our food!
Whether you're planning a unique date night, a team-building activity, or simply want to elevate your culinary skills, this place offers an unforgettable experience that combines education, entertainment, and exquisite food. The two-hour session flies by, leaving you with not just a full stomach, but also with practical skills, cultural insights, and memories to cherish.

- Classes are offered in both afternoon and evening sessions
