Sushi-lovers who want to do more than just eat sushi can learn to make it at Nombe with co-owner Mari Takahashi. The focus on healthy living combines the kitchen and the classroom to teach the art of centuries-old Japanese cuisine.

Aspiring sushi chefs turn to Takahashi to learn traditional techniques for authentic sushi making and Japanese cooking. During a two-hour, hands-on class, you'll learn the history of sushi; types of sushi; how to make proper sushi rice; and how to roll Hosomaki, Uramaki, and Futomaki. You'll also learn how to slice fish for sashimi and sushi. Each participant will make between 30 to 50 pieces of sushi, with plenty to take home.
