Negitoro Making Class — Bluefin Tuna Tartar Workshop
Sat · Jun 6, 2026 · 2:00 pm

Negitoro Making Class

Rice Market Lower Floor · 1608 14th St NW

Learn to make authentic Negitoro — bluefin tuna tartar — from Sujitoro, the sinew-rich cut typically set aside from sashimi service. Most tuna tartar you encounter at restaurants isn't the real thing. This is. Hands-on technique for scraping the rich meat from sinew, no experience needed.

Knife Sharpening and Fish Slicing Class Workshop
Sun · Jun 7, 2026 · 2:00 pm

Knife Sharpening and Fish Slicing Class

Rice Market Lower Floor · 1608 14th St NW

Bring your kitchen knife — we'll sharpen it together, then put it to work. Learn to restore an edge using whetstones, then slice into sashimi-grade Japanese fish. We'll cover the structure of fish muscle and how to read the grain, so you know exactly how to approach each cut for the best texture and flavor. You leave with a sharpened knife, new technique, and fresh-sliced fish to take home.
