For those who love sushi, it’s an extreme love. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground – it’s either a favorite food, or you would rather be forced to sit in the front row of a Gallagher show than eat raw fish.
For those in the “love it” group, Sushiya-US is holding two sushi classes next month to show you how to make your own. Family & Friends Night will be 8 p.m. April 1, and Couples Night is 8 p.m. April 29.
The restaurant had been having some private sushi-making parties, and some patrons requested a public event when they found out about them, restaurant supervisor Lynette Parmley says.
Participants will learn to make cucumber rolls, California rolls (crab, cucumber and avocado) and shrimp tempura rolls (shrimp tempura, avocado and cucumber). Classes will be taught by a sushi chef and an assistant. During appetizers – vegetarian spring rolls and gyoza, a beef dumpling – employees will work one-on-one with anyone who needs to learn how to use chopsticks.
Cost is $25 each, or $15 for children 12 and younger. The price includes Japanese ice cream for dessert, non-alcoholic drinks for everyone and sake samples for adults.
To reserve your spot, call 444-4263 or email sushiyaus@gmail.com with preferred date of class, name, number of people in your party and phone number.
