I am a Japanese cuisine chef with over 20 years of experience in the art and discipline of Japanese gastronomy. My training was built through rigorous apprenticeship under Japanese masters, where I acquired not only the technique, but also the deep respect for tradition, precision and balance that define this cuisine. Throughout my career, I have developed extensive experience in the restaurant industry, working across different contexts and challenges, always with a commitment to delivering quality, consistency and authenticity in every dish. I believe Japanese cuisine goes far beyond flavour — it is an expression of culture, detail and sensitivity. This is the philosophy I bring to every project I take on.

Not at all. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as people who have already tried making sushi at home. We start with the foundations and guide you through each step, so you can build the right techniques and confidence from the beginning.
You will learn how to select and handle fish safely, prepare sushi rice with the right temperature, texture and seasoning, use essential knife and handling techniques, and make different types of sushi including nigiri and maki. You will also learn practical techniques and insights drawn from professional Japanese kitchens.
Yes. Everything you need for the session is provided, including all ingredients and equipment. You will also enjoy everything you make during the workshop, along with tea and water.
Absolutely. The focus goes beyond simply following recipes. You will learn the principles behind each technique so you understand why things are done in a particular way. The aim is to give you the skills, confidence and understanding to continue improving your sushi at home.

The workshop is dynamic and the chef teaches you the basics (starting from how to properly cook the rice) to make a good sushi at home. The most interesting part is that they show you how to use local fish, that you can easily find and replicate. The space is lovely, and so are the owner and the chef. I would totally recommend the experience 🙂

Learned a lot more than I expected – history, nutrition, the reasoning behind the rice preparation. Hands-on the whole time, we made everything ourselves from scratch. The place was lovely and the chef had a real gift for keeping the room laughing while making sure we actually understood what we were doing. That combination is rarer than it sounds. Left genuinely happy I went.

It was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Jaime’s communication skills truly stood out—he explained each step clearly and patiently, making the process easy to follow whether you were a beginner or had some prior experience.
The setting itself was beautiful and added so much to the overall atmosphere. It created a relaxed and inspiring environment that made the learning experience even more enjoyable.
I walked away not only with new skills and a deeper appreciation for sushi-making, but also with a sense of accomplishment. And best of all—the sushi we made was incredible. Honestly, it was some of the best sushi I’ve ever had.
I highly recommend this workshop.
