Sushi Making Secrets: A Private Masterclass in Barcelona with Unlimited Drinks

Wat je kunt verwachten

Discover the art of Japanese sushi-making in an exclusive, hands-on workshop at Kurai, the Japanese restaurant inside Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza. For one special evening, the restaurant opens its kitchen exclusively to your group, offering a unique opportunity to learn authentic sushi techniques alongside professional chefs.

Begin with a welcome sake shot and traditional miso soup as Chef Mynor Tortola and sushiman Brayan introduce you to the history and origins of sushi, sharing how this iconic Japanese cuisine evolved and became popular around the world.

Then, step into the kitchen for an interactive sushi-making session in a small group. With expert guidance throughout, you'll learn how to fillet a whole salmon, master essential cuts of salmon, tuna and other fish, shape perfect nigiri, prepare classic and creative sushi rolls, and slice and present sashimi.

Have a favourite sushi roll? Simply let us know in advance, and you'll have the chance to prepare it during the workshop.

To make the experience even more memorable, you'll receive a sushi-making kit and recipe booklet to continue practising at home, along with a group photo to remember your evening. You'll also enjoy a 15% discount on Kurai's à la carte menu.

Whether you're a sushi enthusiast, a curious beginner or simply looking for a memorable evening in Barcelona, this experience combines Japanese culinary traditions, practical cooking skills and a relaxed social atmosphere.
