About AKEMI’s SUSHiKiTCHEN

Hi there! Thank you for visiting
AKEMI’s SUSHiKiTCHEN's website!
I’m Akemi Castellano, the owner of this cooking class
and also a certified sushi chef.

I opened this cooking class because I wanted to teach authentic Edo-mae Sushi
to tourists visiting from overseas, and also to foreign citizens living in Japan.
Japanese cuisine (Washoku) has been registered
as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2013.
Sushi is an essential part of Japanese cuisine.

Sushi has become very popular around the world,
because it is fresh, delicious, and healthy.

At our lesson, you can learn how to make sushi yourself,
in your own home.

I will show you how to make
several popular types of sushi, leading you through the process
starting from the preparation of the vinegar rice.

We look forward to seeing you in our classes!

You can experience authentic Japanese cooking in a friendly home environment. 

Choose from
Morning Lessons (10am-1pm), or
Afternoon Lessons (4:30-7:30pm)

 

We'll make "Nigiri-zushi" (hand-pressed sushi), "Maki-zushi" (rolled sushi),
"Gun-kan" (battleship sushi) and "Inari" (fried tofu pockets).  

Please note that this is a set course, and we cannot do special orders. 

Regular lessons can seat up to five people.
If you have a group of six or more, please contact us, and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

If there are only two or three in your group, you might be seated with another group.
We would appreciate your understanding.
