Sticks'n'Sushi - Kids Masterclass

After a Japanese sushi making class in London for kids? Then check out the brilliant workshops on offer at Sticks'n'Sushi, whether you're in Wimbledon, Islington, Chelsea or Greenwich. Aimed at children eight to 12 years old, these sessions are led by a helpful and patient instructor who'll teach your little ones how to make authentic Japanese bites.

They'll create a kappa hosomaki roll, a pink Alaska uramaki roll and two pieces of shake nigiri during the 90 minutes. Squash will be provided throughout, and they'll leave with a goodie bag containing a certificate, their bandana, a rolling mat, chopsticks and a chocolate fish, as well as an educational Japanese number and phrase sheet - all included in the £40 ticket price.

Located in Fitzrovia, Sican is a vibrant Nikkei restaurant that flawlessly combines Japanese and Peruvian cuisines. They offer one of the best value sushi making masterclasses around, as the £40 price includes bottomless bubbles for 90 minutes.

The immersive workshop is led by their expert chefs, who'll teach you how to make sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi, infused with both Japanese and Peruvian flavours. You'll get to enjoy all these tasty bites afterwards, while sipping bubbles or cocktails.
