San Jose Sushi Class Ends With the Meal You Made
A chef takes a small group through sushi rice, rolling and plating, then everyone eats the three courses they built.
Sushi reads as simple from the other side of the counter. The rice is seasoned and cooled to a particular point, the nori goes down one way around, and a roll tightens in a single pass or it opens up on the cutting board.
The operator runs this as a small group, and one booking takes up to eight. Everyone gets a mat and the same set of ingredients, and the chef stays close enough that nobody is working it out alone.
The session runs 120 minutes on a fixed clock, taught in English, and it meets at a venue on North 19th Street in San Jose. The chef waits inside the room, not at the entrance. Booking is per person, and the age band on the listing starts at 18.

The class is built on doing rather than watching. Sushi rice gets prepared for two different jobs out of the same bowl: spread flat for rolling, and shaped by hand for nigiri. Knife technique comes next, then plating.
The whole menu is finished inside the two hours, which sets the order. Rice first, and everything else waits on it. Then the rolls. Then the nigiri, which asks for a lighter hand than anything that came before it.
The Three Courses You Build
Edamame opens the meal, tossed in a spicy Japanese seasoning and finished with sesame seeds. Three items follow. A California roll made with real crab, cucumber and avocado. A spicy tuna roll, fresh tuna cut with sriracha. And nigiri from a rotating selection.
The nigiri is the part that moves. The operator names shrimp, tuna and eel as the usual options and ties the choice to what the market has that day, which means the plate you shape will not always match the plate in a photograph.
What You Bring, and Who Can Book
A booking runs from one guest up to eight, and the operator describes the format as a small group. The age band on the listing starts at 18, which makes this an adult table.
The class is BYOB. Wine and beer are welcome and no alcohol comes with the ticket. A stop on the way covers it.
Access, Diet, and the Booking
The listing marks the venue as wheelchair accessible and allows service animals. Cozymeal's own San Jose pages do not address access. Anyone who needs step-free entry has one question to put to the operator ahead of booking.
The kitchen will work around dietary needs, and the operator asks for that notice ahead of the class rather than on the day. The menu leans on crab, tuna, eel and shrimp, which narrows what a late substitution can reach.
Tickets are mobile and issued one per booking. Cancellation on this listing is free up to 24 hours before the scheduled start. Cozymeal's own site advertises a 48-hour window on most bookings, which puts the deadline with wherever the booking is made. The listing also lets the operator cancel a date that does not fill.
The venue sits at 664 North 19th Street in San Jose. The chef meets guests inside the room, not at the entrance.
The two hours are fixed and the meal lands at the end of them. Whatever you want to drink alongside it walks in with you.
