Overview

Rolling your own sushi is the whole point of this class. Chef Sean, who holds a Culinary Arts diploma and has worked as both sous chef and head chef in high-volume kitchens, walks the class through four courses in two and a half hours.

The menu moves in a deliberate order. You start with miso soup, learning to build a broth from white miso, dashi, tofu, wakame and green onion. From there you season sushi rice, practice knife work, and roll a salmon and avocado roll with nori, Atlantic salmon, cucumber and avocado. Dessert is a yuzu cheesecake cup, layered with cream cheese, yuzu curd, graham cracker crumble and whipped cream.

It suits beginners and more confident cooks alike, since the teaching is practical rather than fussy, and the four courses you prepare become your meal. Wine and beer are not included, but guests are welcome to bring their own to drink while they cook.

What To Expect From The Tour

The class runs 2h 30m and everything is hands-on, so a few practical details are worth knowing before you book.

Getting there. The class takes place at 570 Emerson St #307 in Coquitlam, BC, and no pickup or transfer is included.
Bring drinks. Wine and beer are not included, but the listing explicitly invites guests to bring their own to enjoy during the class. The what-to-bring list on the listing says drinks, nothing more.
Pace and format. Beginners are catered for, with the chef keeping techniques approachable.
Skill level. No sushi experience is needed. The class is framed for people new to sushi and for those wanting to sharpen existing skills, covering rice seasoning, knife work and rolling technique in sequence.
You eat what you make. The four courses you prepare are your meal, from miso soup through to the yuzu cheesecake cups.
Classroom setting. Smoking indoors is not allowed during the class.

Common issues. No traveller reviews of this exact class are available yet, so the honest limits come from the listing itself. Wine and beer are excluded and must be brought at your own effort. Pickup is not included, and the class takes place in Coquitlam rather than central Vancouver, so check the address before you book. Cancellation is free only up to 24 hours before the class; check the booking page for anything closer to the start time.
