Join fellow HR leaders in Austin for a relaxed, high-end culinary experience at Uchiko.

We’ll kick things off with an intimate sushi-making demo led by one of Uchiko’s expert chefs. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Uchi’s iconic P-38 roll comes together—then the tables turn and you’ll make your own. The best roll wins a prize, so expect a little friendly competition.

Once the rolls are made, sit back and enjoy an 8-course tasting menu highlighting Uchiko’s signature flavors.

By attending, you’ll:

  • Learn how to make Uchi’s famous P-38 roll from a professional sushi chef.
  • Connect with fellow people leaders in the Austin community.
  • Enjoy a fun, stress-free night out with an unforgettable tasting menu.

Whether you’re joining to network, unwind, or just eat really good sushi, this is a night you won’t want to miss. No sushi making experience required, we promise.

Seats are limited—request yours to get on the list.
