Decorative Sushi Roll Making

I had decorative sushi making classes with friends at two occasions.


This is so much fun!
Here are some photos.






We put these parts together to make "ribbon sushi"
.
We are working hard. Some "ribbon sushi" are finished.
We are happy to have made beautiful "deco sushi rolls."
