If your usual dinner plans are starting to feel a little too predictable, Soji: Modern Asian is giving Baton Rouge a reason to get out of the dining room and behind the sushi mat.

The local restaurant is hosting a monthly sushi-making class, turning a night at Soji into an interactive experience where guests can learn the basics of making sushi for themselves.

And Baton Rouge seems to be into it. August’s class is already sold out, with the next opportunity to join coming in September.

Dinner Plans, But Make Them Hands-On

Instead of simply ordering your favorite roll, the class gives guests a chance to learn more about what actually goes into making one.

Participants are guided through the sushi-making process, learning techniques they can take with them well beyond their night at Soji. Whether you’re coming with friends, planning a different kind of date night or just really love sushi, the experience is designed to be approachable and fun regardless of how much experience you have in the kitchen.

The best part? You don’t leave empty-handed.

Guests get to take home some of the sushi-making tools used during the experience, so you can put your new skills to the test in your own kitchen. Consider your next at-home sushi night officially upgraded.

A New Monthly Tradition at Soji

The sushi class isn’t a one-and-done event. Soji plans to keep the experience in its monthly rotation, giving Baton Rouge diners regular opportunities to get in on the fun.

With August already sold out, the popularity of the class is a good reminder that tickets aren’t something you’ll want to wait on.

September’s class is up next, giving anyone who missed August another chance to grab a spot, learn a few new skills and find out whether their sushi-rolling abilities are as good as they think they are.

Ready to Roll?

Soji: Modern Asian is located at 5050 Government Street in Baton Rouge.

Tickets for the upcoming September sushi class are available now. With the August class already at capacity, grabbing tickets early might be the move.

And after the class? You’ll have the tools, the technique and, hopefully, enough confidence to host sushi night at home.
