What to Expect
You arrive at a casual sushi restaurant in Nagasaki, a port city with a long history of cultural exchange that has shaped its distinct food culture. As you settle in, your guide introduces the session and the sushi chef who will lead the class. The setting is relaxed and welcoming, giving you a comfortable space to engage directly with a working professional before the hands-on portion begins.
The chef stands before you and walks through the fundamentals of nigiri — how to portion and shape the rice, how to handle the fish, and how to bring the two together with the right pressure and motion. You follow along, shaping each piece yourself as the chef demonstrates. Your guide translates instructions and relays any questions you have directly to the chef, keeping the session interactive throughout.
By the end, you have shaped your own nigiri pieces and sit down to eat what you have made. The chef and guide remain available for questions, so you leave with a clearer understanding of the techniques behind one of Japan’s most recognized culinary traditions — and a set of nigiri you assembled yourself from start to finish.
