What You'll Learn
Six techniques. One complete craft.
Awase-zu
The foundational vinegar mixture — the proportions that give sushi rice its characteristic balance of sweet, sharp, and salt.
Shari
Steaming and seasoning rice to the precise texture needed for sushi — the step most home cooks get wrong, and the one that changes everything.
Fish Preparation
How to cut, slice, and fillet fish to the ideal thickness and angle for Nigiri — with care for the grain and quality of each piece.
Nigiri
Hand-pressing sushi with the right density, shape, and consistency — a technique that looks simple and takes real practice to get right.
Maki Rolls
Rolling technique, seaweed handling, and producing clean, tight rolls across several styles — from hosomaki to uramaki.
Balance & Harmony
Understanding how every element — rice, fish, seaweed, garnish — interacts. The difference between sushi that looks right and sushi that tastes right.
