Umemori Sushi School
1) Experience sushi-making with authentic sushi chefs
We provide our participants with the sushi chef’s traditional hat made of Japanese paper, gloves, and apron, to help bring them into the frame of mind of an artisan. In each class, participants make at least eight sushi pieces, where they experience the same order of sushi-making as the sushi chef—for example feeling the weight of the rice in their hands and getting a natural sense of it.
2) Enjoy sushi just as it is made, in a real sushi chef’s kitchen
We pair freshly prepared fish with steaming-hot rice, offering the kind of quality sushi that can’t be experienced in retail shops or kaiten-zushi establishments. Our plum vinegar-infused rice—fluffy and aromatic—is a key ingredient in our delectable sushi, which practically melts in your mouth. Enjoy the flavors of our authentic hand-shaped sushi.
3) Continue to enjoy your experience—even after you go home to your country
The Umemori Sushi School provides sushi-making manuals and a Graduation Certificate to each person completing our courses. Our goal is to provide our students with more than just one experience—it is our hope that our students will continue to think of Japanese culture and the memories they make here long after returning home.
We also sell a sushi-making kit.
