Inamo Sushi Classes

‘Interactive’ sushi restaurant Inamo is gimmicky, with its food and drink menu projected onto the table, from which you order directly at the same time as setting your surroundings’ ‘themes’ and ‘moods’.

But sushi is Inamo’s main business. For Restaurant Week, Inamo will host two sushi and sake masterclasses.

Learn to make Japanese specialites from the in-house sushi chefs and try a selection of sakes.
