A five-star experience, for everyone

Beginners welcome — the class is designed for guests making sushi for the very first time.

"The sushi experience was great. I came with a group of 4 people. The location was clearly marked and easy to access from the Asakusa station. The hosts Hiro and Sora gave us chef jackets to wear and started us off with a sake toast and proceeded to offer as much sake as we wanted throughout the class. The sushi demonstration was fun and engaging. The amount of sushi we each made was a lot and we were quite full at the end. The experience ended with matcha drinks. 10/10 I would do again! This would be a great fit for a corporate outing or a date."

"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!"

"A highlight of our Japan trip so far! Our family (2 adults, a tween and a child) had a fantastic time this afternoon learning to make both sushi rolls (maki) and fish on rice (nigiri) sushi, and enjoying matcha and sake. There were 7 people in our session, so great hands on attention from both the host and the chef. Getting to eat our creations was great and it was enough for our dinner. Highly recommended!"
