Message from the Instructor
 Sushi is an important part of Japanese food culture. Today, sushi has been replaced by conveyor-belt sushi, and has changed from NIGIRISUSHI to no Nigiri-Sushi, or Edo-mae “nose-sushi”.

Although there is a movement to pass on the skills of NIGIRISUSHI, MAKIMONO, and BOXED-SUSHI to future generations as a specialty sushi restaurant, SUSHI SKOOL K offers a specialized curriculum for NIGIRISUSHI, the most important of these, and with the spread of sanitary gloves, you can now enjoy NIGIRISUSHI at home in just a few practice sessions.

NIGIRISUSHI has become a familiar food. We invite you to experience the familiarity of NIGIRISUSHI and share it with your family and friends.

Assistant introduction:Mika. Kawata


Certifications : Japanese chef’s licensed,
