- Step-by-step instruction on preparing the perfect sushi rice
- Guidance on cutting the fresh ingredients properly

- Three variations per participant: Tuna Maki, California Rolls and Gunkan
- Online recipes for every guest to keep after the class

How the Sushi Class Works
The sushi class starts with the rice, because the texture and seasoning of the rice decide how every roll turns out. The chef then shows how to cut the fresh ingredients so they sit evenly inside a roll. Guests move on to rolling, beginning with Tuna Maki, then California Rolls, and finishing by shaping Gunkan. Each step builds on the one before, so beginners see clear progress across the session. The chef works the room with easy tips and tricks, and guests enjoy their rolls together as they finish them, so the meal runs through the whole session.
How Many People Can Join?
When the chef travels, the sushi class takes 10 to 120 guests. That range covers a ten-person team, a full department or a company-wide session in a large room. The class is priced per guest, and a flat travel charge is added once per booking for bringing the class to your location, so the full total appears before you request to book.
Where It Happens
For this version of the sushi class, the chef travels to the customer: your office, a meeting room or another business venue in San Francisco and nearby. The chef travels to corporate offices and business venues only, not private homes. Bringing the class on site keeps the group in a familiar space and saves everyone a commute. Groups that would rather use a ready-made setting can book the same class at the chef's private dining room in San Francisco, which takes up to 60 guests.
Good Fit For
Companies comparing corporate team building cooking classes get a fixed two-hour format with one chef leading the whole session. The format is built for cooking class team bonding: shared stations, shared tasks and a shared table throughout the session.
- Team building with a clear before and after, from plain rice to finished rolls
- Holiday parties looking for a hands-on dinner activity
- Workshops where guests want to learn a skill they can repeat at home
- Networking events that pair people at shared stations
- Birthday celebrations for adults who enjoy sushi
Who Teaches the Class
The owner and chef instructor teaches every session. With 15 years as a culinary instructor, more than 400 classes and over 12,000 students over the past eight years, she specializes in interactive team-building cooking experiences for corporate clients. Her background runs from Southeast Asian cooking to Italian cuisine, pastry arts and cake decorating, and she has taught culinary arts at several schools and trained with experienced pastry professionals at a local bakery. Guests often mention how fantastic and funny she is as a teacher.
Can the Menu Work for Dietary Needs?
Yes. Ingredients, recipes and menus for the sushi class are fully customizable to suit preferences, dietary needs and the event theme. Allergies and dietary needs are confirmed at least seven days before class, which gives the chef time to plan substitutions for the whole group.
Planning Notes
The onsite sushi class runs two hours, so it slots into a workday afternoon or follows a meeting. Book at least seven days ahead: allergies and dietary needs are confirmed seven or more days before class, and rescheduling also needs seven days of notice. The class involves sharp tools and hot surfaces, so participation is at each guest's own risk, and photos or videos may be taken during the session.
