Rolling Memories: A Parent & Child Sushi Workshop in Mount Hawthorn.
In Mount Hawthorn a brief, intensely tactile culinary session pairs parents and children for two hours of making and tasting Japanese staples. The workshop begins with a classic miso soup and moves through a guided, hands-on progression of sushi rice, tamago and multiple rolls — a structured kitchen lesson designed as a shared activity between one adult and one child.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A chef-guided, step-by-step sushi curriculum
A chef leads each parent-child pair through rice preparation and a sequence of recipes — from a vegetarian roll and Japanese tamago to katsu chicken, tuna-based Nippon sushi, temaki and a California roll — with guided tastings of your own creations.
Designed for one-on-one parent-child teamwork
The format requires booking as an adult + child pair and frames the kitchen as a place to collaborate: chopping, assembling and rolling together under chef supervision, with the activity explicitly aimed at shared participation.
From warm miso to messy, hands-on rolling
Sessions open with miso soup on arrival and proceed to hands-on, potentially messy work at the bench as participants learn to prepare rice, chop fillings and roll a sequence of different sushi styles.
What the day feels like
What the workshop feels like
The workshop unfolds like a short culinary curriculum: arrival and a shared miso soup, then stations of rice preparation, chopping and assembling. Pairs rotate through a planned sequence of recipes — vegetarian roll and tamago, katsu chicken, a tuna-and-mayo Nippon roll, temaki and a California roll — each taught and demonstrated by the chef so families can taste the results of their own work.
