Calling all the sushi lovers out there! South Wharf’s Akachochin has announced a sushi making masterclass which will be run by the restaurant’s head chef Seyong Park. The masterclass will give punters a hands-on experience of the entire process of making sushi – from choosing the perfect fish to the skilful slicing and preparing of high-quality pieces, right down to choosing the correct combination of sauces and condiments.
Fresh ingredients will be made available throughout the class while the head chef teaches you how different types of sushi – the pressed ‘cake’ variety as well as sushi rolls – are put together. You won’t just be learning how to roll the seaweed, but also get to learn how your sushi can be taken to the next level. Akachochin’s head chef learnt the ways of sushi and sashimi over many years and you will have the opportunity to have all your questions answered during this workshop.
After the class, punters will get to enjoy their meal on the restaurant’s waterside terrace that boasts beautiful views of the Yarra. Japanese wine and beer will be served to tie the whole experience off nicely.
No prior experience is necessary and you can book into any of the three available dates for the masterclass on May 11, June 8 and July 13. It costs $89 per person and you'll get to take a new recipe book home with you.
