Description
If you are interested in our Secret Japan sushi making workshop, you are surely a sushi lover. Before we tell you about the workshop, here’s some interesting information about the history of Sushi. The now renowned Japanese dish stretches back over a thousand years. It evolved from a mere method of preserving fish in fermented rice into one of the most beloved dishes in Japan and around the world. Originally developed in Southeast Asia, sushi found its way to Japan. There it transformed and developed into various styles, including the popular nigiri and maki that we know today. Sushi’s journey through time reflects Japan’s respect for ingredients, regional flavors, and the art of careful preparation.
Today, sushi holds a special place in Japanese culture, representing freshness, precision, and balance. As a dish, it’s a celebration of the ocean’s bounty, highlighting the natural taste of each ingredient, from delicate slices of fish to perfectly seasoned rice. For Japanese chefs, mastering sushi is often a lifelong journey, one that begins with learning the basics and continues through practice and refinement.
