Osaka: Modern Vegetarian Sushi Cooking Class

This vegetarian sushi class is designed to guide you step by step, starting with simpler techniques and progressing to more advanced ones. You’ll begin by making hosomaki rolls, mastering the basics of handling nori and rolling soy-mirin glazed sweet potato and roasted eggplant topped with dengaku miso. These thin rolls help you get comfortable with sushi-making.

Next, you’ll move to futomaki rolls, which are thicker and filled with cucumber, avocado, roasted bell peppers, tamago, and simmered shiitake mushrooms. This step emphasizes layering ingredients beautifully while balancing flavors and textures.

Finally, you’ll learn to craft nigiri sushi, hand-pressing rice and topping it with tamago, crispy avocado, and roasted bell peppers finished with ponzu jelly. This final step focuses on precision and presentation, resulting in elegant, restaurant-quality sushi.

The class concludes with a hearty bowl of red miso soup, featuring handmade tofu meatballs and fresh seasonal ingredients. To enhance your experience, consider the optional sake pairing set. The chilled Junmai and Junmai Ginjo beautifully complement the fresh flavors of the sushi, while the warm sake highlights the deep umami of the miso soup. This carefully designed order ensures you gain confidence while enjoying a seamless and flavorful culinary journey.
