Sushi – a representative of Japanese cuisine. You can have or get sushi everywhere in the world. It’s quite common to see people who have never been to Japan getting sushi boxes at supermarkets and having them at staff lounges in their offices.

It’s great to have an authentic one, but making sushi by yourself in Japan also would be a wonderful experience. If you are interested in sushi making, you should try “Japan Cross Bridge”, a sushi class which is organized by experienced Japanese twin sisters.

As you see in the movie above, they teach you kindly in English.

Isao Tokuhashi, founder of My Eyes Tokyo, is BAD at cooking. However, he dared to enroll in an “Extravaganza Sushi making course”, which focuses on making traditional nigiri sushi (握り寿司, hand-formed sushi) and maki sushi (巻き寿司, roll sushi).
*He tried to make some “vegan nigiri sushi” too!

First of all, let’s start with tuna. The class started by cutting this red part of tuna meat to make sashimi.

It was challenging but he eventually learned how to make sashimi thanks to their wonderful lesson.

Then, he tried to make “Inside-out Roll Sushi”.

Unlike regular maki sushi, it looks like rice winding seaweed. Inside-out roll sushi was really popular among the customers at a Japanese restaurant, which the twin instructors used to work for in Geneva, Switzerland.
