# Private Sushi Making with a Sushi Master

**Guidekin's take:** Work on sushi making with attention to slicing angles and pressure in a private workshop for your party. A meal and personal instruction are included, and dietary needs can be accommodated; teaching is in English only. 4.99 from 102 reviews at €115 per person for 1h 45m.

In our comparison: #8 of 21 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Join a private workshop led by a sushi master with experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant. With fully bilingual staff and private settings, every detail will be shared personally with you.

Our sushi master brings over five years of sushi-making experience, including time at a Michelin-starred restaurant. His approach is rooted in precision — adjusting slicing angles, pressure, curing, and aging techniques with a scientific eye, stripping away the unnecessary to let each ingredient speak for itself. As the seasons shift and each fish's condition changes, so does his method.
We invite you to explore the craft of sushi through the eyes of a master.
