ABOUT US

Yoshi Sushi & Bento was born in August 2010 by Japanese and Kiwi husband and wife duo, Yoshi and Helen Kono. Helen & Yoshi met in Japan and when they moved to NZ they brought with them the dream of opening their own shop, bringing Japanese flavours to New Zealand. With Yoshi’s passion for cooking and Helen’s passion towards customer service, Yoshi Sushi & Bento was born. They also wanted to add a few personal meanings to their shops and so working with designers they have incorporated their Japanese family crest into the shop’s design and the first shop was opened 7 years to the day that Helen & Yoshi first met.

SUSHI MAKING CLASSES

Come along to Yoshi Sushi & Bento at Press Hall for an afternoon/evening of fun learning to make sushi. The class starts with a welcome drink of sake, bubbles or a non-alcoholic beverage and we’ll show you everything from how to make sushi rice right through to making your own sushi rolls! You’ll learn how to make maki sushi (seaweed on the outside) as well as uramaki sushi (reverse sushi rolls with rice on the outside). We’ll have our sushi masters teaching you step by step so that you too can become sushi pros! Stay on and enjoy your sushi rolls in our restaurant or take them away, or a bit of both! Our bar will be open too so it’s a perfect chance to enjoy a Japanese beverage, wine or beer with your sushi. At the end of the class you can take your bamboo sushi mat home so that you can make sushi and wow your family and friends with your new skills. This is a great event for work groups, friends, family or all three. We can’t wait to host you at our next sushi making class! Minimum of 10 people per class but if you have close to these numbers or are interested in joining a mixed class contact us to talk more.

Cost per person $90.
