Sushisamba Brings Its Popular Weekly Class To Las Vegas: Sushi+Sake 101
Get Schooled in the Fine Art of Maki-Making and Sake Tasting at SUSHISAMBA strip, Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 5.
Fish, foodies and the finest Japanese sake collide at SUSHISAMBA strip’s debut of SUSHI+SAKE101 – a deliciously interactive two-hour teaching and tasting event starting Wednesday, Nov. 5. Class participants will learn what it takes to become a “master sushi chef,” while sipping sake alongside a delectable five-course meal that includes sashimi, tempura, edamame and sushi rolls they help prepare.
Made popular at several SUSHISAMBA locations across the country, SUSHI+SAKE101 introduces guests to the history and traditions of sushi and sake, the art of sushi making and offers in-depth instruction about these two worldly traditions from resident experts. For the Vegas debut, SUSHISAMBA strip will up the ante (so to speak), unveiling its top talent to lead their Wednesday class: Sushi Chef Koji Kagawa and Las Vegas’ only female master sake sommelier, Tiffany Dawn Soto.
For the first half of class, sommelier Soto will guide pupils through the exotic world of sake tasting, introducing the traditions and history of sake while uncovering misconceptions about this increasingly popular Japanese alcohol distilled from a special kind of rice. From aromatic to aged to sparkling, guests will be exposed to new and diverse prefectures of sake every week; be it “sweet and spicy” or “rich and round with a sweet caramel finish.” Choosing from more than 130 different sakes in the award-winning SUSHISAMBA collection– Las Vegas’ largest — Soto will present guests with five flights in total, paired off with appetizing (and signature) selections from the SUSHISAMBA strip menu.
In the latter half of class, guests will get schooled on the schools of fish inside the SUSHISAMBA strip sushi bar. They will learn the simplified approach to cutting raw fish; how to identify what is “sushi-grade” and will even construct a sushi roll of their choice. All told, there will be enough “do-it-yourself” instruction for any aspiring at-home sushi chef to feel confident, inspired and ready to put their knowledge to the test.
Along these lines, SUSHI+SAKE 101 students will also be given an informative take-away booklet with restaurant recipes, a glossary of terms and a summation of what they learned in class.
