The finalists engaged hands-on in a vibrant masterclass led by John Dory’s sushi master, Dumisani Lukhozi, who guided them through the sushi-making process using White Star pap instead of traditional rice. This first-of-its-kind experience celebrated local culinary heritage and showcased the versatility of pap, blending cultural flavours with contemporary gastronomy.

John Dory’s commitment to creating unique, inclusive dining experiences was clearly demonstrated through this event, reflecting the brand’s dedication to culinary innovation and community connection.

The Sushi Masterclasses are held regularly at all John Dory’s restaurants nationwide and are open to anyone interested in sushi, from casual diners to culinary hobbyists. Private group sessions are also occasionally offered for corporate events or special occasions. It is recommended to book in advance, as spots can fill quickly.

Reservations can be made at the John Dory’s location nearest to you for only R249.90 per person.
