Breakthrough Sushi

we had an incredible sushi making class for our summer interns at our office. Kaz and his team came in and just blew us all away. Extremely professional, full service, great atmosphere and energy from the team and just an awesome event. We had a huge group and they handled it with ease and poise. This is an event that we will definitely be doing again — rock on Breakthrough Sushi!

Kaz is amazing and extremely accommodating. He worked with me and my girlfriend to host a private dinner + sushi making lesson for two — something that isn’t usually possible given the logistics of the business, but he made it happen!

The class was amazing! Kaz was clear and instructive. We had plenty of time to make more sushi than we could possibly eat. Bring Tupperware to take some home with you. The working tables and kitchen were perfectly setup. I can’t wait to practice at home!

We did the «Sushi Challenge» with Kaz for our company offsite and it was so much fun! Hands down the best activity we have done as a team to date. Kaz was patient and made it easy for everyone with his great teaching skills. He set everything up and left the kitchen spotless which is not an easy task for one person. Everyone loved the event and had such a good time. Thanks for a wonderful night!

We took a sushi making class at the Miele Center in San Francisco. It was a gorgeous venue. We learned how to make sushi rolls with rice on the inside, sushi rolls with rice on the outside, hand rolls, and giant sushi rolls. We also learned knife techniques & were able to practice on cucumber and fish.
We were able to learn so much and practice so many skills. Kaz was a great teacher. He showed us how to make the rolls and came around while we were trying them out to give pointers. Luckily he sent out the recipes after the class so that we didn’t have worry too much! It was a great class. We’re hoping to check out the more advanced class next!

Way too many people to have in a «class». Not enough space to work. You bascially have to stand on your feet for 2 to 3 hours. The the price you paid, you get basically get enough material to make one California roll, rainbow roll, one hand roll. Maybe my expectation were too high, but I thought the who experience was just okay.

Kaz is incredibly generous and accommodating. I wanted to do something special for my boyfriend’s birthday and Kaz put on an amazing spread of sushi, nigiri, and sashimi for the two of us. He gave me an incredible deal for a private dinner and all the ingredients were so fresh.
Though I haven’t participated in his public classes, I’m sure those are great too. Highly recommend Kaz for any occasion!

Let’s talk classes.
I came here with my coworkers for a team building activity.
The sushi making class is about two hours, not including time at the end to sit and eat and chat with the chef.
This class includes lessons on your knife skills (cutting cucumbers and slicing fish for sushi and sashimi), making California rolls, cucumber salads, rainbow roll, and hand rolls.
All lessons are step by step. The chef is very patient, explaining the history behind sushi, demoing every step, and giving one on one tips.
It’s definitely a fun experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but sushi making is definitely a lot more hands on and harder than I thought. You’ll have a lot more respect for your sushi chef the next time you step into a Japanese restaurant.
The only thing I wish was that we did everything. Some things were pre made for us, like seasoning the rice, seasoning the seaweed for the cucumber salad, the sake mojito, prepping the fish before we use it.
It was worth the experience and you learn a lot.

Took my husband to the beginner class and it was awesome! The food was fresh and the instructor was very engaging! Well worth the cost. I don’t know that our rolls were very pretty but they were definitely tasty. Pictures to come!

Kaz and his team cooked for my girlfriend’s 30^th birthday this past weekend for a party of 18. He was super responsive on the planning, prompt on the day of the event, and the food was simply one of the best sushi dinners that I have ever had. Highly, highly recommend him.

Chef Kaz was amazing to work with from the time I selected him for my event through the close of the event. He went out of his way to accommodate our groups’ special needs and I felt at ease throughout the entire process planning the event from the East Coast so far away from the event & venue. On the evening of the event, Chef Kaz was an incredible teacher and entertainer. He made us all sushi-​stars and we all walked away from the event having had a great time. Thank you so much, Chef Kaz!

My wife lost a bet to me and owed me a date day/​activity so she decided to do a sushi making class. She had read about Breakthrough Sushi before and it had great reviews. I had never made sushi before but we had a great time. They made it very easy for us novices. They had everything laid out for us and gave great instructions. I wish they had given us more 1:1 attention but our sushi turned out well so I guess we didn’t need it that much :)
Plus after we were done we were able to eat our creations and they all tasted good.
If you’ve eve been interested to learn how to make sushi, I recommend Breakthrough Sushi.

I purchased tickets to the Saturday sushi class for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a great time! Kaz was a fantastic teacher and very friendly. All the ingredients were fresh and delicious and we left feeling stuffed! Kaz’s instructions were very easy to follow and he was great about walking around and helping out. One word of advice — be sure to bring tupperware for leftovers!!!

Kaz doesn’t need anymore great reviews, but I feel I must add one to the mix.
My son and I took this class yesterday, and loved it! I cannot think of any way this class could have been better. Kaz has covered every base, and covered it well.
His instruction is excellent, the setting is spacious, clean, and attractive, the fish and other ingredients he provides are so fresh and delicious, and everything is very well-​organized. Katz is a true professional, and a really nice guy! I would highly recommend this class.

I attended the Saturday, Feb. 7, class. It was so much fun AND instructional. My husband and I attended the class. It was a wonderful Christmas gift from our daughter. The instruction is clear and concise. Instructor Kaz explains his background and how to prepare all the food.
The FOOD is to die for. The fish is so fresh and tasty. We made CA rolls, fish balls, seaweed salad, and hand rolls. The food is so plentiful that we stuffed ourselves and had some to take home. Beverage is provided but you can also bring your own wine and drink while you make your sushi.
This was a completely enjoyable and social event. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Its great for couples and as a team building event.
Definitely not to be missed.

This was an incredible team building event! It was unique, fun, interactive, and practical. I think almost everyone will be employing the skills they learned at home!
Kaz is great… articulate, polite, entertaining, and patient. My group gets a little rowdy but Kaz took it all in stride!
Great event. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time and everyone was very full. This was a great team building event as everyone interacted and we were joking the entire time. I’ve done many as I am a consultant for startups and recommend it for all small teams. I had the vegetarian sushi and the others had fish. The others said that the fish was high quality and was very fresh. I loved my veggie sushi.

If there was a way to add more than 5 stars, I would. Kaz was incredible. My wonderful girlfriend and him set up an amazing birthday experience. We returned home from grabbing a few beers and Kaz was setup and ready to teach us the art of sushi making. He was knowledgable, had a fantastic teaching style, and was incredibly fun.
I cannot say enough great things about Kaz.

I had a dinner party for 7 girls at a residence in Sonoma. While we listened to music and danced and drank wine, Kaz quietly and efficiently set the table, prepped the sushi, brought flowers, dressed in nice shirt, and made himself at home in the kitchen, The fish was incredibly fresh, everyone commented on how fresh it tasted, he prepared more food than was humanely possible to eat, and when two girls requested rolls he hadn’t made he graciously complied. He left the kitchen spotless. I will certainly use him again for private dinner parties and for corporate dinners or team building.

My friends and I had an absolutely unique experience during the Sushi Party, each person had a chance to roll its’ own California Roll! Setting up process went smooth and rice preparation technique was interesting to listen. Kaz Matsune is a talented chef with great personality, it was pleasure having him at our apartment. Kaz was focused on giving us directions and making sure we are following them.
We all enjoyed Sushi making expertise.
