Sake me...

♥ Ceri makes...  had a fun filled evening with my lovely friend Kate at a Red Letter Days YO! Sushi Sake Experience at the YO! Sushi Market Place branch.  It kicked off with making our own sake cocktails,  with some help I whipped up a YO! Sakuri, a yummy combination of honey umeshu,  cherry blossom liqueur,  lychee juice,  ginger and soda. 

  The cocktails were followed by endless shots of sake...

 
...and endless plates of delicious sushi.  Ten out of ten to Red Letter Days YO! Sushi sake experience.

Sunday sushi making...

♥ Ceri makes...  spent the afternoon at a sushi making class at Suzu in West London,  a birthday treat from RWF.  Despite having a copy of the Yo Sushi cookbook I hadn't been brave enough to ever attempt making any!  So I was pleased to give it a go under the careful guidance of our teacher Makiko.  Her tops tips included wrapping your bamboo rolling matt in clingfilm and making sure that your hands are a little greasy,  we used grapeseed oil for this in the class.  Another essential is a super sharp knife as the nori can be quite tricky to cut through,  but this is also made easier by using a sawing like motion when cutting.  After making a selection of maki,  nigiri and inside out rolls we enjoyed the results with some yummy plum wine. 

It really did taste as good as it looks!
