My team had a great experience learning to make sushi with Chef Shota! He was very patient and conversational, and did a great job guiding us through the different types of sushi. The ingredients and tools (bowls, bamboo mat, cutting board) were all prepared thoughtfully before the class started and we all felt very comfortable throughout the class.
