Sushi Mastery

Sushi encompasses many different aspects that anyone wishing to engage with this “art” must understand.

For the aforementioned reasons, there are two program options: Basic and Advanced, each catering to the respective requirements of the interested party. However, one thing is certain! Whichever program you choose, you will know how to create the most delicious and authentic sushi.

Together, we will embark on a journey of discovery, based on the philosophy and history of the art of sushi.

Curriculum

HISTORY OF SUSHI

The journey of knowledge begins with some historical information regarding the philosophy surrounding sushi. We cannot begin the technical part of our learning without knowing basic information.

The raw materials we use form our foundation and must meet the standard we aim to achieve, always emphasizing fresh, local products.

We will explore the most well-known and commercially popular types of sushi, as well as those that require the easiest techniques to create.

Once we complete the theoretical part, it’s time to move on to the technical aspects necessary for sushi creation.

Without the right tools, we cannot work effectively. Therefore, we will need specific knives, tools, and techniques that will elevate our results.

At this level, we begin by learning to cook the rice, which forms our base. Subsequently, we practice filleting fish and create the famous nigiri and sashimi.

For any fish we do not use, we will learn basic principles of preservation and storage to ensure the best quality and prevent food poisoning.

Finally, we cannot overlook the characteristic element of sushi: rolling. We will practice rolling hosomaki, uramaki, futomaki, and nigiri.

Therefore, after this stage, participants will be ready to taste the unique sushi they have just created.

RAW MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES

Subsequently, we will delve deeper into raw materials and the techniques required for more complex sushi dishes.

Of course, to achieve a proper result, we also need the right knives and tools. At this level, our tools must perfectly align with the culinary art we aim to master.

Once we know the basic techniques, we are ready for more complex creations. We will prepare whole salmon, sea bass, or sea bream and create sashimi, nigiri, spicy tartar, and sake tempura.

Do not worry about any fish we do not use; in this seminar, we will demonstrate specialized preservation and storage techniques for optimal fish quality.

Naturally, we cannot overlook the characteristic element of sushi: rolling. We will practice advanced rolling techniques and the creation of signature sushi rolls.

Finally, participants will be introduced to a new category of sushi: tempura and tempura rolls. These are sushi types that involve frying as a technique.

Therefore, after this stage, participants will be ready to taste the unique sushi and their advanced skills will be evaluated.
