Sushi is one of Japan’s most famous and beloved foods — and in this fun Parent & Child cooking workshop, you’ll learn how to create beautiful sushi together from scratch.
Designed for beginners, this hands-on class turns sushi making into a memorable family experience, where adults and children cook side by side while learning the techniques behind restaurant-style sushi.
Our friendly chef-tutors guide you step by step in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Classes are kept small in our spacious, air-conditioned London studio, so every family receives personal attention and plenty of support. Weekday sessions are often quieter and can feel almost like a private class.
No experience is required — just bring your curiosity and appetite.
What You’ll Experience
We begin with a short and engaging introduction covering:
  • The history of sushi
  • The difference between traditional and modern sushi
  • Why Maki rolls became the most popular sushi worldwide
Then it’s time to get hands-on.
You and your child will work together to roll, shape, and present your own sushi creations with guidance from our experienced chef-tutors.
In this beginner sushi class, you and your child will learn how to:
  • Understand and season sushi rice properly
  • Roll sushi confidently using traditional techniques
  • Make a classic Maki
  • Make a modern Ura-Maki

Founded in London with a passion for precision and authenticity, we specialise in immersive Asian culinary workshops that combine traditional knowledge with hands-on learning.
From sushi masterclasses to Chinese tea ceremonies and artisan dessert experiences, every class is designed to give you more than just a finished dish. We teach you the “why” behind the technique — so you leave with confidence, not just instructions.
Precision.
Our sushi classes focus on technique, structure and presentation.
We guide you to create beautifully shaped rolls with professional standards — even as a beginner.
Culture.
Our tea and Matcha workshops explore centuries of history and philosophy, helping you understand the story behind what you taste.
Creativity.
Our dessert workshops celebrate colour, texture and joy — turning simple ingredients into stunning, handcrafted treats.
We keep our classes small to ensure personal guidance and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re joining for a date night, birthday, team event or simply to learn something new, you’ll be welcomed into a calm and thoughtfully designed space.
Many of our weekday sessions feel almost like private classes — giving you time to ask questions and refine your skills.
