Make Japanese Sushi With a Local Chef in Portland

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Forget wrestling with a sushi menu when you can roll your own. In a welcoming local venue, you’ll get hands-on with the basics of sushi-making and discover that creating restaurant-style rolls is much less intimidating than it looks.

Start by preparing sticky sushi rice, learning how the right texture helps every roll hold together. Then grab a sheet of nori and build a California roll with crab, avocado and cucumber. Next, make a tuna and cucumber roll packed with fresh tuna, avocado and cucumber. Along the way, you’ll practice spreading rice, arranging fillings, rolling tightly and slicing your finished rolls into neat, bite-sized pieces. It’s relaxed, practical and easy to follow, whether you’re completely new to sushi or simply ready to sharpen your skills. One thing is certain: your next sushi craving may come with a rolling mat.

What to expect

Sushi night just got a lot more hands-on. At a relaxed local venue, you’ll learn how to turn fresh ingredients into beautiful sushi rolls, starting with the foundation that makes everything work: perfectly seasoned sushi rice.

You’ll prepare the rice, then practice spreading it evenly over nori before adding fillings and rolling everything into shape. Create a classic California roll with crab, avocado and cucumber, followed by a tuna and cucumber roll with fresh tuna, avocado and cucumber. You’ll learn how to layer ingredients, roll firmly, seal each piece and slice your rolls cleanly without sending the filling across the table. The pace stays approachable, so you can focus on learning, laughing and enjoying your creations. By the end, you’ll have practical sushi-making skills and a plate of homemade rolls worth showing off.
