What You Will Make

1. Nigiri Sushi

Nigiri is the most traditional and classic style of Japanese sushi. It features a beautiful slice of the freshest seafood delicately placed on top of a bite-sized bed of seasoned vinegared rice. It is a simple yet exquisite dish where you can truly taste the authentic flavors of Japan.

2. Wagyu Maki Sushi

A luxurious fusion of traditional sushi and world-renowned Japanese beef! Premium Wagyu beef—famous for its rich, savory flavor and melt-in-your-mouth marbling—is carefully rolled with vinegared rice and seaweed. This is a must-try masterpiece for meat lovers and a wonderful alternative to seafood.

3. Matcha (Premium Green Tea)

Experience the taste of Japan with our traditional, finely milled green tea. It features a beautiful vibrant green color and a rich, deep, and earthy flavor.

4. Warabi Mochi (Traditional Japanese Jelly Sweet)

A popular traditional, naturally vegan dessert. It is a chilled, delightfully chewy, jelly-like confection, typically enjoyed with a dusting of sweet roasted soybean flour (Kinako).
