Chef Leo (second from right) does an impromptu sushi class for 190 North host Janet Davies.

Our sushi classes are held each month, please call the store for more details!  (click here to see a sample menu in MS Word format). The class will be led by Sushi Chef Leo Bariso, who was featured recently on the TV show 190 North. His class will feature several courses including miso soup and a large variety of sushi and sashimi using our freshest fish and shellfish. You will have the exclusive attention of Chef Leo in the casual environment of our store at 4423 N. Elston.

Cost is $75 per person and space is limited. To register contact us at 773-283-8400. Below are some pictures of our previous classes!
