Anyone who has wanted to learn the art of making sushi at home will have the opportunity to do so in Ibiza this weekend. Umami Ibiza Sushi & Bentō, in Sant Jordi, is hosting a practical Japanese cooking workshop on Sunday, 25 October 2026, combining guided instruction with hands-on preparation.
The session is designed to introduce participants to the essential techniques behind sushi, from preparing rice to cutting fish and vegetables and assembling different types of rolls. Participants will also be able to take home the sushi they prepare during the workshop.
The activity costs €80 per person and includes an educational dossier, a diploma and the food prepared during the session. Places are limited.
From Sushi Basics to Practical Preparation
The workshop begins with a theoretical and visual introduction led by the instructors. Participants receive a learning dossier containing images and explanations of the different preparations covered during the session.
The teaching programme includes several fundamental techniques used in Japanese cuisine:
-
Preparing, washing and cooking rice for sushi.
-
Selecting, preparing and cutting vegetables commonly used in sushi.
-
Learning how to prepare and cut fish, including salmon, tuna and sea bass.
-
Understanding different types of maki and sushi rolls.
After the introductory section, participants move on to the practical part of the workshop, applying what they have learned to prepare their own sushi.
The format is intended to help participants build confidence in the kitchen and better understand the techniques behind a dish often associated with specialist restaurants.
Take Home the Sushi You Make
One of the workshop's main attractions is the opportunity to enjoy the results afterwards. Participants take home the sushi they prepare, making the session both a learning experience and a chance to share their creations with friends or family.
The €80 fee includes the educational materials, a diploma and the sushi made during the course.
The organisers recommend booking in advance because places are limited.
