Experience Sushi Making Class in Tokyo

About this tour

Spend two and a half hours in a Tokyo kitchen learning to craft sushi from scratch. You'll roll nigiri and maki, prepare two accompanying dishes, and discover the Japanese ingredients and seasonings that define the cuisine. The instructor demonstrates each technique before you take the lead, so you leave with genuine skills rather than just tourist photos. Vegetarian options available on request.

Highlights

• Roll nigiri and maki sushi under expert guidance
• Prepare two side dishes using traditional methods
• Learn about Japanese seasonings and ingredient selection
• Take home recipes and completion certificate
• Green tea included; all ingredients provided

What to expect

Your instructor walks through the fundamentals—knife grip, rice seasoning, rolling technique—before you get your hands in. You'll then prepare your own nigiri and maki rolls while they circulate to offer pointers. Two sides round out the practical work. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a performance but a patient handover of technique. By the end you'll have edible results and a clear sense of what you've actually learned. Photos are captured throughout and yours to keep.

Good to know

Inform organisers in advance if you can't eat fish; vegetable-only options exist. The location sits near public transport. Wear the provided apron. You'll receive printed recipes to reference once you're home.
