Rydges North Sydney

At Rydges North Sydney, we believe some of the best experiences happen around great food – especially when you get to make it yourself!Our Sushi Masterclass is led by Executive Chef Taichi Ito, who was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, and has spent more than 20 years perfecting the art of Japanese and fusion cuisine. Throughout his career, Chef Ito has honed his craft at renowned Australian venues including Saké in Brisbane and Crane Bar in Sydney. But what makes Chef Ito’s classes particularly special is his personality. This isn’t a serious, silent cooking lesson. His masterclasses combine expert tuition with plenty of humour, conversation and hands-on fun. He loves sharing the techniques behind authentic sushi making in a way that’s approachable, entertaining and memorable – whether you’re a complete beginner or already handy in the kitchen.During the experience, Chef Ito will take you through everything from knife skills and ingredient preparation to rolling, cutting and presenting your own sushi creations. There might even be a little friendly competition along the way, with your creations judged on both taste and presentation! We’ve created this experience for people to learn something new, enjoy incredible food and, most importantly, have fun together. It’s perfect for friends, celebrations, corporate teams or anyone looking for something a little different to do in Sydney.Come hungry, bring your sense of humour and get ready to roll!
