More details...
In this unique 90 minute experience, you will watch chefs Zach Ramos and Amy Phan (previously of Sushi Taro) break down a whole head-on tuna into traditional sushi blocks and then make several sophisticated culinary preparations with the beautiful fish. You will learn some sushi/sashimi-making tips and tactics. During the experience, you'll learn how various cuts of the tuna are used, and all three types will be included in your take-home dinner (lean, medium-fatty AND fatty). You will even learn to make your own hand rolls; a set-up will be included with your dinner so you can DIY at home! The class will culminate with a LIVE auction of the Maguro Tuna collar, an exceptionally unique treat and coveted delicacy - The chefs will prepare the collar meat to the winner's liking.
We will offer curbside pickup of your dinner, at Mess Hall immediately following the class, from 4pm-6pm .
As a BONUS - during the demonstration, we will be joined by Reiko Harai, founder of DC Sake Co, who will demystify Sake, in a mini Sake 101 class. Exclusive Sake specials will be available for purchase and can be picked up with your dinner.
