Experience Details

Step into a cozy sushi school in Nara and discover sushi-making the Japanese way. Your host, an experienced sushi chef, will guide you through every step, from seasoning the rice to slicing fresh fish.


On arrival, you will choose a happi, a traditional coat, and step into a space scented with steaming rice and fresh, ocean-picked fish.


The session will begin with a brief introduction to sushi history and dining etiquette. There, you’ll grate fresh wasabi, feel the vinegared rice in your hands, and shape nigiri with guidance. The host’s lively chants of “Rasshai!” bring energy and make the experience fun and immersive.


Every step is hands-on. You’ll slice sashimi, roll sushi, and add your favorite toppings while your host provides guidance and shares cultural tips. Guests may ask questions and try each technique.


At the end of the experience, you can taste your creations, along with expert commentaries, followed by a short graduation ceremony where you will receive a certificate of completion.


You’ll leave with authentic sushi-making skills, a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, and a memorable taste of local hospitality.
