Chef Isaac Cunnington aka Sushi Sensei

Chef Isaac Cunnington, known as the Sushi Sensei, began making sushi when his brother bet him that he couldn’t. Several years into his sushi journey, Chef Isaac Cunnington was hired on the spot by Fisherman’s Market. This is where he honed his fish anatomy skills and began acquiring all of his professional sushi knowledge.

Not long thereafter, Chef Issac hosted a 12-person sushi inctruction class simply as a favor. Following the event, it was recommended he start offering it as a service, and the rest is history! Years later, Isaac runs a highly successful sushi-instructing business in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. From this arose the demand for him to privately prepare sushi for the eager and adventurous; and led his directly to our open doors.

Cut and Rolled Sushi Class

During this 2 hour hands on sushi rolling course, we'll start off learning about the tools & tricks of the trade. We'll cover everything from vocabulary to knife skills. After we understand the basics, we will dive into the origins of sushi and roll (and eat) our way to modern day touching on Sashimi, Nigiri, Hosomaki, and Futomaki. While dabbling with sushi creation, we'll take a deep dive into sake - learning about how its made, what goes into the process, and how to speak intelligently about it.

The Salmon Boat

Designed for the salmon lover, this spread delivers roll after roll of the gorgeously hued fish. Fresh and rich, salmon pairs perfectly with the briney homemade sushi rice & fresh vegetables.

Mid-way through your spread, take a smoke break as Isaac serves up a few cuts of regionally sourced, hours-long smoked steelhead. Finish off with a roll featuring both atlantic salmon AND the more citrus-inclined ahi tuna.
