You step into this sushi making class ready for something fun, and right away the energy pulls you in! This is your chance to learn how to make sushi from scratch with a Chef Instructor trained in Tokyo, all while keeping things light, social, and beginner-friendly. If you’ve been searching for things to do in Chicago that feel both hands-on and relaxing, this cooking class hits that sweet spot. You’ll ease into the process at your own pace, picking up real techniques without any pressure to perform.
As you move through the class, you’ll learn exactly how to make sushi the way chefs do it -- cooking and seasoning the rice, prepping fresh ingredients, and mixing your own sauce. Each step is demonstrated clearly before you try it yourself, making even the trickier parts feel surprisingly doable. You’ll craft three rolls using two different techniques: a California Roll and a Salmon Roll with the rice on the outside, followed by a traditional Japanese-style Vegetable Roll wrapped in nori. It’s a sushi recipe lineup that gives you skills you can take home and brag about later.
By the end, you’ll feel like you’ve unlocked a little corner of the best sushi in Chicago, created by your own hands. Everything you need is provided, and all you have to bring is your appetite and a willingness to have fun!
