A retired Ginza sushi chef teaches you to true a blade on a whetstone before you break down a fish and shape nigiri you will actually want to eat. Six seats, no assembly line, and he corrects your rice pressure like it matters, because it does. Book with realistic expectations: this is a patient craft class, not a photo-op, and the pace is deliberately slow.
