"What a fantastic experience! The sushi-making workshop was fun, engaging, and incredibly well organized. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire process easy to follow, even for complete beginners. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a unique, fun, and delicious experience!"

"This one! So much better than the big group tourist classes. Small and intimate setting, authentic sushi. Fun teachers. Having all you can drink sake, matcha making, and a mochi dessert were an awesome bonus. Highly recommend!"

"Ken is the owner and he runs the place. Starts with sake, then how to make nigiri and maki, then matcha. He gives you his family recipe. I have tried to make sushi at home and it's a disaster. The sushi I made here was actually really good. Afterwards he will send you recipes and pictures. Really friendly and highly recommend coming!"

The Experience
Your seat at the table — one 90-minute class
Sushi · Sake · Matcha
The table does the introductions
Travelers from all over the world sit facing each other along one long counter. "How's your roll looking?" is all it takes — by the sake toast, you're no longer strangers.
Your hands, your sushi
Everyone gets their own station, rice and fish, and the instructor steps in to guide your fingers whenever a nigiri won't hold. Whatever you shape, you eat — the best lunch in Tokyo, made by you.
Leave with a story
Whisk your own matcha, photograph your plate, swap contacts with your new friends — then head out into Asakusa together. Many solo guests end the day at an izakaya with people they met at this table.
