A global master leads a hands-on sushi making class in Vegas

That’s how he rolls.

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, whose restaurants around the world luxuriate in Michelin stars, is returning to Las Vegas to lead a sushi-making class and host a lavish tasting, at Nobu Restaurant & Lounge in Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace.

On Sept. 17, the chef will teach the art and craft of sushi at a hands-on class with a limited number of participants. Following the class, participants will be served freshly prepared sushi, signature menu dishes and craft cocktails.

The evening before, on Sept. 16, the chef is attending a reception featuring dishes from 10 Nobu restaurants across the West Coast and beyond. The tasting showcases Matsuhisa’s signature Japanese-Peruvian cuisine with tray-passed appetizers and with action stations offering dishes such as spicy tuna crisp rice, yellowtail jalapeño, wagyu tacos, and negi toro and toro taku hand rolls. Sweet finishes include a kakigori (Japanese shave ice) station.

Tickets for each event start at $500 per person and can be purchased at caesars.com.
