Master the Art of Japanese Sushi from scratch
Have you ever dreamed of preparing delicate, authentic Japanese sushi using the same ingredients and techniques as the skilled chefs in Tokyo? Then this course is for you.
Welcome to a unique sushi course that introduces you to the flavors, aesthetics, and techniques behind true Japanese sushi. You will learn to make sushi with fresh ingredients and traditional techniques that not only taste amazing but also look beautifully refined.
Many people believe a sushi roll is simply seaweed, rice, fish, and vegetables. But Japanese cuisine is so much more than that. The way a sushi roll is made plays a vital role in its taste and texture. If it is rolled too tightly or too loosely, the delicate balance is lost.
Whether you are a complete beginner or someone who has already experimented with making sushi at home, this course is designed to inspire and challenge you. You will gain insight into techniques that cannot be learned from online videos, but only through hands-on instruction and expert guidance.
The course is led by Denmark’s most experienced sushi chef, trained in Japan by masters with over 40 years of expertise. I have worked professionally as a sushi chef for 19 years, and in 2012, I was introduced to the traditional nigiri technique a craft that can take up to 20 years to truly master.
No matter your skill level, you are in safe hands.
Join me on a flavorful journey to Japan, where you will be guided by Denmark’s most experienced Japanese-trained sushi chef and discover the secrets behind this timeless culinary art form.
