Sushi & Sake 101

Miami Beach’s favorite Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian restaurant, SUSHISAMBA dromo, is offering Floridians and visitors alike an opportunity to sample sake and learn special culinary techniques from the pros. The class will be offered monthly and will be conducted with the help of SUSHISAMBA dromo’s Executive Sushi Chef, Shoyo Iida.

SUSHISAMBA’s expansive sake menu is the largest in South Florida, boasting nearly 50 varieties of the rice-based spirit. Sake master, Roth, who is stationed at the Miami-based location, will touch on a variety of the sakes available at the restaurant, beginning the course with an introduction to the traditions and history of sake followed by a lesson in sake pairings. Students can gain insider sushi-making tips with Sushi Chef Iida’s history lesson on sushi and an in-depth instruction on the selecting and cutting of raw fish. Following the tutorial will be a hands-on opportunity to create a sushi roll of choice that will give attendees firsthand knowledge of what it takes to become a “master sushi chef.” Sushi & sake 101 classes will be held every second Wednesday of the month from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The two-hour class offers an educational experience that includes five flights of sake, a selection of SUSHISAMBA’s signature dishes, variety of sushi rolls, edamame, tempura and sashimi. Guests will not leave hungry, so bring your appetite!
