Summary: Good for gifts, for your own is overpriced
Comment: The product itself its good for a gift, i mean nice box, nice presentation, etc. But if your planning to make sushi for yourself, you better go to your local market, buy stuff and save like 80%.
I know because i made it.

Summary: Great Value
Comment: I was a little bit worried about the book, but it is easy to follow and gives instructions and recipes that the novice sushi chef understands. The additional accessories are handsome and durable. I had a great time making sushi with this kit and I would recommend it as a gift for anyone who enjoys sushi but doesn't want to pay what the restaurants charge.

Summary: It covers the basics
Comment: This kit makes a great gift for anyone thinking of making sushi at home for the first time.
As the description states it contains some utensils, a rolling mat, and a rice form. The rice form is pretty much useless since it is quicker and easier to form the rice by hand. The book is small and only has the basics, so if you are looking for more advanced recipes, you will need to look for other books.
The included book does do a pretty good job of getting any beginner started making good sushi at home, so for the price its not bad at all.

Summary: oiishi! tremendous deal!
Comment: Dare I refer to myself as a sushi connoisseur, I have had my fill of great sushi from all over Japan, Hawaii, California, and the east coast... You can imagine the inversely proportional satisfaction that has had on my wallet! When looking for a gift for my girlfriend, I decided to search for a sushi kit, as I figured this would be a win-win situation for me (she loves sushi, and now she'll make it for me!). Going through reviews on Amazon and other sites, I found this kit to include all the hardware you need and a simple, elegant instructional guide... I was excited to receive the kit in the mail.. I mean give it to my gf!
anyways, having made sushi many times before, i was a bit skeptical of the quality of the materials and the low price point... however, when my gf opened the package, i was amazed to see the quality of the bamboo mat, the beautiful chopsticks, shoyu (soy sauce) dishes, and even a nigiri press! the guide was perfect for a newbie to sushi making, but it even provided me, the sushi master himself, some tips on making great inside out rolls (wait, sushi rolls aren't authentic japanese, but they're good!)!
mmmMMMmm... that's all i have to say about this kit, or as japanese say, oishiii! this kit is perfect to fuel your sushi addiction, and is an absolutely amazing bargain!

Summary: my dad loved it
Comment: I bought this for my dad thinking he'd get into making sushi himself since he's always loved it. When I gave it to him, I wanted it myself. It is a very nice kit...especially for the money. I'm surprised it's not $40+. I haven't gotten to read the sushi recipe book inside, but that's all junk you can find on the internet in 5 seconds anyway. The physical aspect of all the pieces is great. (rolling mat, soy dishes, serving tray, chop sticks, maybe more, I forget) In any case my brother called me a few days later, and I was right, my dad is obsessed with making it himself now.
