What you'll do

A Warm Welcome

Step into our friendly London kitchen for a fascinating introduction to the world of sushi. In our small, personal classes, your expert chef-tutor will share the history of this iconic dish and get you excited to master the original and most famous style: the Maki roll.

The Perfect Foundation

Discover the secrets that make restaurant-quality sushi. You’ll learn how to work with perfectly prepared sushi rice and handle the fresh, delicious fillings for your California and Tempura Prawn rolls (vegetarian options are also available!).

Master the Maki Roll

Now for the fun part! Get hands-on with your bamboo mat as you learn the satisfying art of sushi rolling. With patient, step-by-step guidance, you’ll master the technique to create a tight, perfectly formed roll you can be proud of.

Plate Like a Pro

The final touch is all about presentation. We’ll show you how to slice your rolls cleanly and arrange them beautifully on the plate. It's the secret to transforming your delicious sushi into a true work of art.

Enjoy Your Sushi Masterpiece

Step back and admire your stunning, professional-looking platter of handmade sushi. All that's left to do is sit down and enjoy your delicious creations, leaving with the skills to impress your friends and family at home.

Add-on Recipe Collection Booklet

You can get beautifully designed and printed recipe from each class once you bought the booklet (Two colours to choose).
You also will get Polaroid-style photo sticker from your class, showing your highlight in the class you attended.
Your chef tutor also will give you a stamp. It is your certificate of success.

Looking for a unique gift, birthday idea or a fun experience with friends?

Join us in our spacious, air-conditioned cooking studio and learn how to make beautiful, restaurant-quality sushi — even if you’ve never tried before.

This class is specially designed for complete beginners. No experience needed — 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 is the original form of sushi

Then it’s time to get hands-on.

You’ll learn step-by-step how to create perfectly shaped, beautifully presented sushi rolls with guidance from our experienced chef-tutors.

We keep classes small, so you’ll receive personal attention and plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Weekday bookings are often quieter, giving you an even more private experience.

During the class you will learn how to:

Understand and season sushi rice properly
Roll and shape sushi confidently
Make a classic California Roll (vegetarian option available)
Make a Tempura Prawn Maki (vegetarian option available)
Plate and present your sushi beautifully

Please note: The rice is pre-cooked for the main session. If you’d like to learn how to cook it from scratch, you can select this as an add-on.

By the end of the class, you’ll feel confident recreating sushi at home — and proud of your professional-looking results.

Why Choose This Class?

Perfect for beginners
Relaxed, friendly atmosphere
Small group teaching
Ideal for date nights, birthdays & team events
Learn proper techniques from experienced chefs

Although this is a beginner class, we aim for high standards. You’ll be guided to achieve clean shapes, neat rolls and beautiful presentation.

Makes a great present for anyone who likes sushi or Japanese culture more generally.

5/5 from Chris Miles, attended Jul 2025: Simon & Hanna were fantastic teachers and we thoroughly enjoyed our sushi class. It was really interesting learning about the history of sushi and how it's evolved into what we all know and love today. All the ingredients and materials were provided so as long as you turn up and are prepared to learn you'll have a great time. We were all really proud of what we created and it was a lot simpler than we thought it was going to be. It's definitely something you can recreate at home to wow your guests at a dinner party. Simon was really funny and has a great sense of humour. The class went way faster than we thought which goes to show how enjoyable it was. Thanks for an awesome experience guys!
5/5 from Carlo Rizzi, attended Jul 2025: I booked the beginner sushi class for me and my children. The location is nice and private, Simon and Hanna were very welcoming and they instantly put us at ease. We learned so many details about the history of sushi and this translated in making us better understand the reason for the techniques that we learned during the class. And the result at the end of the lesson were two very tasty sushi rolls (a total of 16 pieces) that you can either take away or taste there (as we did). To be recommended
5/5 from Ilektra Fotopoulou, attended May 2025: Teacher was very good, gave us a lot of info about the history of sushi and was very good on showing us how to make it. If you like sushi and you want to have a nice time out with your friends, i would totally recommend it.

They had a great sense of humor, a calm presence, and a real passion for teaching and also shared fascinating insights about the history and origins of sushi. I left the class genuinely feeling like I could recreate everything at home. Highly recommend if you’re even a little curious about making sushi!

Ahhh, and we learnt about wasabi too. Hannah and Simon showed us how to make the perfect sushi and the technique with the knife to cut it perfectly. They answered all our questions and were very involved with us, making sure we learn the basics. Coctels were delicious. Eating our own self-made sushi was quite a big experience. Best birthday present to my partner. Now, we need to move to the advanced class ️️️
5/5 from Deborah Stone, attended Jan 2025: Wonderful class and great, instructive people. We loved it. Highly recommended!

Women-owned

At Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen, we believe cooking is more than following recipes — it is a craft, a culture, and a shared experience.

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.

Our Philosophy

Craft. Culture. Confidence.

We believe learning should feel rewarding, not rushed.

Beautiful, not complicated.

Professional, yet welcoming.

When you leave our studio, we want you to feel proud of what you’ve created — and confident enough to recreate it at home.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hanna and Simon's Foodie Kitchen.
