Classes For Budding Sushi Lovers

At Loews Lake Las Vegas' SushiSKool, Kids Learn the Etiquette of Ordering and Eating Sushi Under the Guidance of Master Sushi Chef Osamu "Fuji" Fujita

Among the many children’s activities available at Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort, the SushiSKool program held on Saturdays from Memorial Day through Labor Day at the Sushi Bar at Marssa restaurant aims to cultivate the next generation of Sushi-Savvy gourmets.

Aimed at children aged 5 through teens and priced at $20 per child, this one-hour class is designed to teach budding young sushi lovers the basics of sushi etiquette: ordering sushi, handling chopsticks, eating different types of sushi. Participants will sample gari (pickled ginger), wasabi (Japanese horseradish), shoyu (soy sauce) and sip ocha (green tea) while mastering the finer points of chopstick strategy.

For further sushi fun beyond the class, kids will take home a "Sushi Savvy" gift bag including a SushiSKool t-shirt, Chef Fuji’s Guide to Sushi, chopsticks, a CD of photos from the class and a discount card for dinner in Marssa.

Osamu "Fuji" Fujita is the Corporate Sushi Chef for Loews Hotels and he can be found behind the sushi bar at Marssa at the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort serving innovative dishes such as Omaka Se, Tamari Scallop, or Cajun Albacore Tataki. A third generation sushi chef whose father was the personal chef for the Emperor of Japan, Chef Fuji began his career as an apprentice in Tokyo.
