Unleash your inner sushi master in an exciting masterclass with Kisumé head sushi chef Toaki Kyo. The intimate series of classes across winter are designed for a small number of lucky guests, ensuring those joining get ample one-on-one attention and guidance from Kyo.

It's an opportunity to indulge in one of the world’s most prized fishes prepared by an esteemed sushi chef and to learn some highly sophisticated culinary skills in the same afternoon. You'll watch as the restaurant's master chef breaks down a whole bluefin tuna, before you sit down to indulge in the three different cuts — akami, chu-toro and o-toro — straight from the chef’s blade.

The front-row experience offers a once-in-a-liftetime insight into the precision and artistry involved in the process, as well as a rare chance to discover the different flavour profiles and markers of quality from a passionate, nationally renowned expert.

From the accompanying five-course menu, you'll get to taste top seasonal produce prepared in some of Kisumé's most masterful dishes, from tuna sashimi and A5 Wagyu with tuna dashi to a delicate chocolate and sobacha dessert to round out the experience.

This rare and special dining experience costs $215 per person and you can make a booking at the website. Move fast! Spots are limited and expected to sell out quickly.
