  • A nice string closure bag for easy storage.

The best thing is all pieces in this kit are dishwasher-safe. They are made from food-grade plastic that will be non-stick and can easily be wiped off. Here are some pros and cons for this kit.

Pros

  • Has special mat for temaki guiding
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Nicely storage bag avoid losing bits and pieces
  • training chopsticks fun and easy for the kids to use
  • easy and detailed instructional manual with recipes and pictures
  • Price is reasonable

Cons

  • included knife is kinda flimsy

2. Traditional sushi making and bamboo serving set with wooden hangiri

BambooMN sushi making Pack

Check on Amazon
This is a nice sushi marking set that would be perfect for both the starters and somewhat novices. It contains a big wooden sushi tub (hangiri) along with a bundle of bamboo utensil, dishes, mat, etc. that bring out the Japanese zen feeling when making and serving sushi. This set is more geared toward the sushi rice aspect and also the serving sides with plates and smaller dishes.

This set includes:

  • A wooden sushi rice tub (hangiri) that is used for mixing and cooling sushi rice while absorbing unwanted moisture and prevent being mushy. Available in 5 sizes (10 – 15inches). However, the 15.3-inch size seem to work best, at it would allow about 10 cups of cooked rice to be mixed, which is typical for a home electric rice cooker. Choose the size that works best for your party.
  • 2 bamboo rice paddles for mixing rice in the tub
  • 2 bamboo spoon for mixing season or sauces
  • 2 bamboo rolling mats for consecutively maki sushi making and rolling
  • 4 half split bamboo plate for serving sushi pieces
  • 4 square bamboo dishes for serving small sides or garnishment
  • 4 round bamboo dishes for wasabi dabbing

This is a good kit at a very reasonable price that would save you time and money compared to buying single pieces. Quality of the tub is what still needs to be considered, but still, as long as you treat and season them right, they’ll work. Many would argue on buying a Japan-made quality hangiri, but hey, unless you’re committed to making sushi every day or at least so frequent enough to make it worth the $350  tub, this one is reasonable otherwise. Oh, and don’t forget to pre-season the hangiri and utensils for the first time and before each use.

Cons

  • Handwash only.
  • Need to be pre-season, otherwise rice stick like crazy
  • no lid for tub, could use a towel to cover the rice, but still a lid would be nice to enclose and prevent dust when in storage, especially with all small pieces in side
  • Hangiri longevity is unknown, the bands are plastic, not copper
  • Not much instruction/manual include, sushi starters have to look somewhere else for recipes and how to roll sushi, making sushi rice, etc.
