Hiro and Mai were fantastic! The class was about an hour long and went through a short history of sushi before beginning. Everything was easy to learn and absolutely delicious after it was done. Plus you get to make Matcha too! Highly recommend for anybody who comes to the Asakusa area.

(Translated by Google) The sushi making course was a really great experience! Everything was very well organized, interesting and fun. We learned how to prepare and make sushi ourselves, and the whole experience was relaxed and very tasty. 🍣 I definitely recommend this course to everyone visiting Japan. If you love sushi and want to experience something special and different, definitely come – you won’t regret it! Hiro is a wonderful and warm teacher and she answered every question we had with a lot of patience. Warm recommendations for her too. (Original) Tečaj pripreme sushija bio je stvarno odlično iskustvo! Sve je bilo jako dobro organizirano, zanimljivo i zabavno. Naučili smo kako sami pripremiti i napraviti sushi, a cijelo iskustvo bilo je opušteno i vrlo ukusno. 🍣 Svakako preporučujem ovaj tečaj svima koji posjećuju Japan. Ako volite sushi i želite doživjeti nešto posebno i drugačije, definitivno dođite – nećete požaliti! Hiro je jedna prekrasna i topla učiteljica i na svako naše pitanje odgovorila je s puno strpljenja. Tople preporuke i za nju.

Hiro, Riku, and Mai were amazing this was the best experience we had yet, we came so late and they still allowed us to make matcha and eat the sushi they made for us. I’m so grateful and I will definitely book again my next time in Tokyo! Everyone should book with Sushi matcha!

Amazing experience! We’re so happy to have Hiro and Sora with us and to experience a little piece of Japanese tradition. 🇯🇵✨ We’re incredibly happy with our decision to take this class!

★★★★★
We wanted to learn how to make sushi and we did get to do that. But we also got a lesson on sushi history and how the Japanese culture enjoys and eats sushi. It was all very interesting. Guests get to enjoy fresh water, sake, making two types of sushi, enjoying the sushi they just made, and then we got to learn how to make matcha tea. Everyone should try this experience. Thank you Hiro and Sora for a great experience!!

Do I need any prior cooking experience to join?
Not at all! Our sushi making classes are designed for complete beginners. Our friendly, English-speaking instructors guide you through every step — from preparing sushi rice to shaping nigiri and rolling maki. Most of our guests have never made sushi before, and everyone leaves with beautiful creations.
What will I make during the class?
In our signature Sushi Making Class, you'll learn to make nigiri sushi and maki rolls using fresh ingredients. The class also includes a sake ceremony and a matcha experience where you whisk your own bowl of matcha. You'll eat everything you create! Each person typically makes 8-10 pieces of sushi.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Absolutely! We offer vegetarian, vegan, and allergen-free options. We also have a dedicated Vegan Sushi Workshop with a 100% plant-based menu. Please let us know about any dietary requirements when booking, and we'll prepare suitable alternatives. Common accommodations include gluten-free soy sauce, no-raw-fish options, and shellfish-free ingredients.
Are children welcome?
Yes! Children aged 4 and above can participate in our regular classes. Children under 4 are welcome to come along and share with a parent. For families, we offer a dedicated Family Sushi Making Class (private, 90-120 min) with child-safe utensils, kid-friendly toppings, and a no-raw-fish option. Strollers are welcome — please let us know in advance so we can prepare.
What's your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your class — no questions asked. Cancellations within 24 hours are subject to a 100% cancellation fee. No-shows are non-refundable. We understand travel plans can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. Contact us if you need to reschedule.
How do I get to your studio?
We have excellent access from multiple stations! Tobu Skytree Line Asakusa Station North Exit: 30 seconds on foot. Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Asakusa Station Exit 7: 2-minute walk. Toei Asakusa Line Asakusa Station Exit A5: 5-minute walk. Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station: 9-minute walk. We're also just 5 minutes from Senso-ji Temple and Kaminarimon Gate.
