Sushi Making Masterclass Sydney
A hands-on sushi making class in Sydney CBD — the perfect culinary team building experience.
Sushi Making Class Sydney - $155pp
If your idea of team building involves more eating than awkward icebreakers, this one’s for you.
At Rydges Darling Square we swap your laptop for knives as we jump into a 2 hour sushi making class. Led by executive chef Taichi Ito, who has more sushi tricks than you’ve had lunches up his sleeve, your class begins with mastering knife skills before you roll and cut your way to sushi stardom.
Armed with the freshest of Sydney produce, you’ll get hands-on and make your very own edible masterpieces (some prettier than others, but hey, that’s half the fun).
And of course, no sushi making session would be complete without a bit of liquid courage; each guest also receives glass of hand-picked sake they can sip on as they roll. Trust us, your sushi will taste all the better for it.
With room for 14-50 guests, this intimate experience guarantees laughs, learning, and plenty of wasabi-fuelled banter. Â
It’s hands-on, it’s interactive, and it’s way tastier than another round of office canapés. Roll on, team.

And while we’re on a roll… this is where your team gets to join our world famous Sushi Masterclass. Here you’ll learn the delicate art of sushi making, under the tutelage of a master chef who will have you laughing (nearly) as much as learning.
Picture it: your team swapping spreadsheets for sushi mats, competing to create the perfect roll while the city twinkles around you. It’s festive, it’s hands-on, and it’s way more fun than another pub tab or stale buffet.

Here’s how our Sushi Making Class in Sydney goes down: picture your team wrestling a bamboo mat and mound of sticky rice into a stunning lunch.
Welcome to Sushi Making Class Sydney — a combination cooking class and comedy show (well, we think so) that will have your crew laughing, bonding and eating their weight in raw fish and vegetables.
You’ll start with a very warm welcome from the legendary Chef Ito, who will introduce you to all of your ingredients, tools and just exactly how not to chop off a fingertip.
And then it’s game on: sharpen those knives (wait, not that much), roll up those sleeves and learn the art of turning seaweed and rice and whatever fillings you darn well please into something resembling, if just barely, sushi.
But this isn’t all just about rolling — it’s about winning.
Chef Ito will award tongue-in-cheek scores for both taste and presentation, so get ready to bring your A-game (or at least your most comical one). The prize? Brags for life … and maybe a sympathy clap if your roll resembles roadkill.
Roll sushi, roll laughs, roll into a great night.
If you’re going to learn how to roll sushi, who better than the absolute best — Chef Taichi Ito himself. Born and raised in Osaka, Chef Ito has spent more than two decades perfecting the delicate art of Japanese and fusion cuisine.
He’s honed his craft (literally) at some of the best venues in the country, with stints at Saké in Brisbane and Crane Bar in Sydney where his dishes turned heads and filled bellies.
And his masterclasses are not your grandmother’s stiff cooking lessons; they’re part comedy act, part culinary adventure. He’s got the skills to demonstrate exactly how to finesse a sushi roll but also he’s got the humour to keep everyone engaged.
Expect a session packed with food tips you’ll actually remember, hands-on practice, and the occasional cheeky joke at your expense (especially if your roll looks more like a burrito). By the end, you’ll not only know your nigiri from your nori, but you’ll also have had one of the most fun, flavour-filled afternoons you can imagine.
