Experience Details

Escape the crowds and step inside a hidden sushi restaurant in Shinjuku. Guided by a professional chef, you'll go beyond sushi-making to explore the skills, traditions, and attention to detail behind authentic sushi.


Meet the chef and hear the story behind the restaurant, their experience as a sushi chef, and the ingredients that define traditional sushi. Inside the cozy wooden space, the calm atmosphere makes it easy to slow down and enjoy every step of the experience.


As the chef prepares fresh fish, you'll see the careful knife work that defines traditional sushi making. You will learn how to prepare sushi rice, explore the importance of quality ingredients, and discover what makes each piece taste its best.


You'll also discover one of the essential foundations of Japanese cuisine by tasting freshly prepared dashi before learning how it is used to make delicate chawanmushi, a savory steamed egg custard enjoyed in traditional Japanese meals.


Under the chef's guidance, experience preparing shellfish before making three pieces of sushi yourself. Then create a futomaki roll and grate fresh wasabi, appreciating the bright aroma and gentle heat it brings to sushi.


Throughout the experience, your host is there to guide you, answer questions, and share insights into Japanese sushi culture, making each step easy to follow.


By the end, you'll leave with a better understanding of the skill, care, and tradition behind every piece of sushi.
