Jackson's Bistro Bar & Sushi in Tampa will hold $40 classes on how to create sushi at home starting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. The restaurant's titled the lessons, Sushi Making 101.
Instructed by Jackson's sushi master chef Emanuel Levya, participants will fashion two rolls (maki) and one nigiri, those little pads of rice covered with fish or other toppings. After the class is over, the newly trained sushi chefs will get to taste what they've made.
Two more 6:30 classes — one on Thursday, July 31, and another on Tuesday, Aug. 5 — are scheduled for the coming weeks, with more to be announced.
Jackson's will provide the crafting tools, fresh ingredients and what no sushi lesson would be complete without: sake.
The classes have a maximum of 10 spots available, and reservations are required.
