Across the evening, Teddy will take you through 12 Japanese-inspired courses featuring ingredients including sashimi, A5 Wagyu beef, foie gras, caviar and more. Your ticket includes the full 12-course experience, a glass of plum wine, and the chance to hand over the decisions for the evening and let the chef choose what you eat.
Meet Chef Teddy Lee
Teddy Lee came to the UK at 22 after studying confectionery and patisserie, and kitchens had always felt like home. Growing up in a family of restaurant workers and owners, following the same path felt natural. He started young, working as a kitchen porter at 16 and learning the industry from the ground up.
After 17 years in the restaurant world, Teddy took his family to Japan to further develop his craft and learn how to master sushi. He spent months practising his skills, studying ingredients and learning the techniques behind Japanese cuisine before bringing that knowledge back home.
In 2015, he opened Maki & Ramen with the aim of making quality Japanese food more affordable and accessible. After Maki & Ramen placed third in The Sunday Times 100 list of Scotland’s fastest-growing private companies, Teddy was ready for his next challenge: opening Maki Nori in London’s Soho, a high-end hand roll bar focused on the craft of sushi, premium ingredients and attention to detail.
Today, Teddy brings that experience, skill and passion for Japanese cuisine to every dish he creates – and for this dinner, you’ll get to experience it across 12 courses.
What is Omakase?
Omakase means “I’ll leave it up to the chef.” There’s no menu sent ahead of time – or even handed to you on the night. Instead, every course is chosen and prepared by Chef Teddy Lee, allowing you to simply take your seat and enjoy the experience as it unfolds.
If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to cater for your needs. However, due to the nature of this menu, the evening won’t be suitable for vegan, vegetarian or halal diets, or for those who don’t eat raw fish. We’d love to host more Omakase evenings in the future that can accommodate different dietary requirements, though, so keep an eye out!
We do everything we can to reduce the risk of cross contamination, however we cannot guarantee a completely allergen free environment and therefore our kitchens may be unsuitable for students with severe or life-threatening allergies.
*Please note this list is not exhaustive.
Our one-day workshops and short courses are 16+ unless otherwise specified. Children aged 14 or 15 may attend with an adult over 18.
“The cook school put me in touch with Castle Terrace, a good portion of my career was spent there… it’s great the connections you can make on the back of a course at the cook school.”
“The cookery school gave me the skills, knowledge and confidence to be able to see it through and make a living out of doing something I’ve always loved”
“…what really stood out to me was its reputation for high-level training in a supportive environment… The technical knowledge, attention to detail, and efficiency I have learned have all shaped how I think about food, whether I’m cooking myself or talking about it in my work.”
We understand the significance of this decision, and are always happy to arrange a call or tour with our Head Teacher for anyone with interest in our Professional Course Programme.
