Customer Reviews

Great!
I experimented with making sushi this past weekend, and used this set to do so. I used the rice paddle to turn and vinegar the rice, as recommended in "Sushi For Dummies." The mat made rolling the maki rolls a breeze - I was expecting it to be MUCH more difficult than it was. I would recommend that you purchase more than one mat if you are not making sushi alone. There were two of us and it would have been more fun (and productive) to each have a rolling mat.
Word of caution though: If you are making sushi for the first time, consult a reference other than the pamphlet included with this set. It is not detailed enough to use for a first sushi attempt!

Everything you need
I bought this last year for my husband and it is great. We use it quite often. The only problem we've had recently is we can't get the mat clean, but I figure after a year of use it's time to get another one anyhow. The book is simple but it has a sushi rice recipe which is the most important part. I really like it!

Good Mat. Great Price.
I was pleasantly surprised when I received my Sushi Kit. The mat is of good quality. The spoon will work well for making sushi rice and it even comes with a little pamphlet with some basic instructions for making sushi. The pamphlet although small had some great tips and pointers that my other sushi books have failed to mentioned. For the price this is a great deal!
