Planning a sushi making team building event is exciting, but the venue you choose can really shape how the day goes. A good location helps everything run smoother and gives our group space to relax and enjoy learning something new. When the setup is right, the whole experience becomes more fun and hands-on.

This humble sheet of dried algae is more than just a wrapper—it’s a flavour enhancer, a texture balancer, and a cultural touchstone in Japanese cuisine.
