"Fun sushi making class."

My family and I did a sushi-making class and thoroughly loved our experience. The entire night was engaging, starting with learning about the history of the food and its significance in Japanese culture, to getting hands-on instruction for folding the fish in the nigiri, and enjoying sake and beer. Masa and Junko were also so sweet and kind, offering one-on-one help to each person and teaching us complicated skills like using the tuna knife. This was definitely a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend it!

"Family sushi making fun!"

We did the nigiri sushi making class with 3 of our adult children and it was an excellent experience! Masa and Junko gave you the true feeling of Japanese culture. It felt like we were welcomed into their culture and they made us feel at home. Top quality ingredients and showed us a lot of knowledge and techniques for making sushi at home. Highly recommend this experience; was one of our favorite highlights of Tokyo. Domo arigato Masa and Junko!

"I had an incredible time on this experience!"

The morning started with a guided tour of the bustling fish market, where we got to see and learn about various types of fresh seafood. The atmosphere was lively, and interacting with the local vendors was a highlight. After exploring the market, we headed to the cooking class location, which was conveniently located near a metro station. The class began with a detailed introduction to sushi-making, including the history and techniques behind Nigiri sushi. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through each step of preparing and assembling our own sushi. At the end of the class, we enjoyed the sushi we had made ourselves, and it was absolutely delicious! Overall, this experience exceeded my expectations, and I left feeling inspired to try making sushi at home. I highly recommend this tour and class for anyone interested in Japanese cuisine and culture.
