Team-omusubi: Japanese cooking classes in Berlin

I'm Masaki Sakurai, founder of TEAM-omusubi and instructor for Japanese cuisine in Berlin. In my cooking classes, I'll show you what's on the table at home in Japan and the stories behind the dishes. I find it best when people start talking while cooking together and end up sitting at the table together.

Before I moved to Berlin with my family in 2024, I worked with organic food in Japan for many years and supported educational projects related to food, nature and community. Today I am bringing this experience to my cooking classes.

Cooking classes and workshops

We prepare bento boxes, omusubi or temaki sushi together. For example, you will learn how to make a bento box balanced and appetizing by choosing ingredients, colors and shapes. I'll also show you how to cook the dishes at home. You don't need any previous knowledge.

Team events and private events

At my team event “The Art of Bento”, you will develop an idea for your Bento box together, distribute the tasks and implement your design step by step. Each person can contribute something of their own. The end result is a joint result that you can see and try out.

I also offer private workshops for birthdays, family events or a cooking evening with friends. Temaki sushi and omusubi are particularly suitable for this because everyone can join in and try out their own combinations.

Venues and group size

My workshops take place in suitable kitchens and event rooms in Berlin and are usually designed for 6 to 15 people. By appointment, I can also come to your company or to another agreed venue. I will coordinate the procedure and duration with you. You can let me know any special dietary requirements in advance.

I'm looking forward to cooking with you!

Masaki from Team-omusubi
