What to Expect

In this hands-on class, you’ll create Character Sushi (Deco-Sushi) at a hidden gem in Yotsuya.

You’ll layer sushi rice and fillings using a mold to form intricate, eye-catching designs. The process is simple and fun, allowing you to craft adorable character-themed sushi decorated with ingredients like seaweed and cheese.

The results are almost too cute to eat, making it as much an art experience as a culinary one. This activity offers a creative way for international guests to engage with Japanese culture through traditional flavors presented in a playful, modern style.

We hope you enjoy this unique and memorable character sushi-making experience.

Meet Your Host

Noriko,Tominaga

Noriko was inspired to share her culture and cuisine after an incredible experience she had cooking and eating with a local family living in rural New Zealand, where they use a boat regularly to get around. On her return to Japan, she began offering cooking lessons in Tokyo with the sole objective of sharing authentic Japanese food and culture with the world. She specializes not only in traditional cuisine like washoku gozen, seasonal and authentic Japanese dishes but also in showcasing modern trends that Japanese housewives’ use in their everyday cooking. Her specialty is ‘kyara-ben’, a character bento box in which she arranges food in elaborate styles to look like popular characters, people and animals. Her recipes are all about balance in flavor, nutrients and colors so your Japanese bento/gozen will be a treat for your eyes and taste buds. Noriko speaks impeccable English and is happy to share stories about food and culture in Japan over lunch. On the days Noriko is not available, another instructor at her school will be assigned to your cooking experience.
