Sushi is one of Japan’s most iconic foods, but tasting it and making it are two very different experiences. In this homemade sushi-making class in Tokyo, you’ll step beyond the counter and learn what goes into creating authentic sushi, using simple techniques and fresh ingredients. The class begins with a clear introduction to the basics of sushi. You will learn about different sushi styles, key ingredients, and preparation tips, then move on to making sushi from scratch. The lesson is taught in English, so everything is easy to follow, even if it’s your first time cooking Japanese food. All ingredients and tools are provided, letting you focus fully on learning and enjoying the process. Once your sushi is ready, you can sit down and enjoy the meal you’ve made. Along the way, you will gain practical skills and insights you can take home, whether you want to recreate the dishes or simply understand sushi on a deeper level. It’s a relaxed, hands-on way to connect with Japanese food culture in Tokyo.

Wonderful small group experience with 8 people total. Very informative and friendly throughout. They did an exceptional job at teaching us how to actually make sushi. Many classes we’ve taken in the past have really been more hands off or pre-prepared. These ladies did an excellent job! The food was awesome with two rolls, 6 nigiri and miso soup to prepare and eat. Come hungry!

Accommodating instructors, class consist of 8 students only that’s why it’s easy to interact. Great job!

Really good and interactive cooking class. Yumi, Yki and Yuki were great with tracking and taking you through the steps to make 7 different types of sushi and dashi. Really recommend this and they accommodate fot dietary needs!

A very comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of making sushi! The team were excellent and I highly recommend this experience.

I had a great time in this cooking class! We made many types of sushi (including a california roll.) We only had 8 people in our small group which was nice, it made the class feel cozy and really like home cooking!! Another benefit was that you got lots of personal guidance 1-on-1 time with the teachers who were all really skills and friendly! They spoke great English. I highly recommend this class!
