The next event in the series is as follows:
Thursday, May 15: Come Roll with Us – Sushi Rolling 101!
Come and learn the spreading, layering, tucking and rolling, and history behind it all in this this fun, hands-on social demonstration. You will learn all the skills needed to make sushi rolls and sashimi, including how to select sushi-grade fish and ingredients. Stations will be set for each participant to roll three of their own sushi rolls: California roll, Tiger roll, and tuna nigiri. The Fish House master sushi rollers, Michael Goza and Gerald Beaulieu, will conduct the class, joined by our friend, Dot Chap: former owner of Khon’s on Palafox, former head sushi chef Bonsai at the Hilton Pensacola Beach and current head chef of Betty’s on Belmont. Each of the rolls will be paired with a selection of beverages to complement them, Hiro Junmai Ginjo Sake, King Estate Sauvignon Blanc and a Kirin Ichiban Beer. Participants will take home tools of the trade including a rolling mat, paddle and spreader along with a pair of chopsticks.
