Was it possible to swap out some of your ingredients with a central pool of stuff? 

Each person has their own ingredients.

Seems to be a hit or a miss on be allowed to take out to go containers on what you can't eat. Seems weird that all ships wouldn't allow you to take it with you rather then throw it away.

 

This thread got me hungry think I'm going to go book it on our next cruise.

 

Thanks

I know on NCL you can’t take sushi out of the restaurant, food safety concerns.

By the time you are done with class, it is right around lunchtime, so it makes sense just to stay and eat it.

Yes, Time I just got on Jewel was 10am.

Yeah The timestamp of my photo when the class was done was 11:15 AM.  Not really a problem just to make it an early lunch. That is what we have done each time we have done the class.

From the before picture, it looks like all ingredients were pre-cut. I've been working on sushi making skills at home. For me, the hardest part is knife skills, especially getting nice slices of fish for nigiri. Did the class include any of that?

No, you are correct. It is all prepared and ready to make sushi rolls without having to use a knife.

No.  In fact, they came around and did all the cutting.

Yes, absolutely especially if you're an avid cook. My wife who loves to cook did the sushi class a few years back on Anthem and really enjoyed it, she took her new skills back home and rolled some sushi for dinner a few times.

We did it a few cruises ago and really liked it.  There was a lot of food, you can’t finish it!  Thank goodness for the fridge in the room.

What would you do with the leftover food if you could take it with you?  No refrigerators in most cabins and fish will smell!  I guess you could share with others who didn't go to class.  I'm fine if my daughter can't take leftovers with her.  I wouldn't eat it and I don't want it in the room. 🍣

 

They probably don't let you take it with you for safety concerns.

I can't speak to the sushi making, but if you've done it and are looking for something close but different we did the sushi-saki lunch on Oasis earlier this month and really enjoyed it.

Present to my family to eat immediately after the class.

Served with YELLOWTAIL JALAPEÑO CARPACCIO* - Yellowtail carpaccio thinly sliced with sea salt, truffle oil, yuzu citrus and house ponzu with jalapeño on top (I don't know why they didn't just say sashimi). Sorry, ate it before I could take a picture.

CRISPY SHRIMP & FUTOMAKI - Crispy spicy shrimp with spicy aïoli and avocado, topped with tenkasu bits and sushi sauce, along with futomaki, wakame salad and cream cheese that is flash fried and topped with aïoli sauces and ginger dressing with chili thread. Was served with a REALLY good saki cocktail (She's a Geisha)

CHAMPAGNE LOBSTER & CREAMY LOBSTER TEMPURA - Champagne lobster (blanched cold lobster), avocado and daikon sprouts wrapped with soy paper and a creamy lobster tempura roll—salmon and hamachi asparagus, topped with lobster tempura in truffle oil and spicy aïoli. Served with MIO SPARKLING SAKE.

TEPPAN BEEF FRIED RICE - Vegetable and egg fried rice with garlic-butter-soy filet mignon. The menu says it was served with KIKUSUI PERFECT SNOW SAKE, but I think it was served with the Tyku coconut saki (REALLY good).

And, for dessert,

MOCHI ICE CREAM - Assorted mochi of mango, strawberry and green tea with strawberry coulis

 

All of the food was very good and the saki's were even better. They also would just leave the bottle on the table for you to pour as much as you'd like. We would definitely do it again.

I signed up solo (my husband does NOT like sushi LOL.  If you like sushi, take the class!  You can always keep an eye out if the price of the class goes down - I don't remember what I paid (it was on one of the Oasis ships two years ago).  I don't think it was $50, but it could have been.

[teddybear231]

We did it twice and definitly recommend it! We only paid $35/each.

Anybody know when the class typically becomes available in our cruise planner for future sailings? My wife is interested in doing it on our EOS sailing next April.

Thanks, I will do that. 🙂

I just ordered this course yesterday 🙂 Cost $36 per person on Anthem in August. I really hope it will improve my sushi making skills, now my own home made sushi looks like a 5 year old child have made it...
