Experience Details
Tsukiji, home to the Tsukiji Outer Market and formerly Japan’s most famous fish market, is often called Tokyo’s kitchen.
In this vibrant area, you’ll find a sushi restaurant, where chefs transform the catch of the day into fresh sushi while sharing their expertise with enthusiasts from around the world.
This private lesson will teach you how to roll temaki and assemble nigiri sushi using seasonal ingredients, making a total of 6 pieces. You will grind real wasabi with a traditional sharkskin grater and taste it.
While watching a professional chef sear and pound fish, you will also sample five or six pieces they prepare to compare with your own creations. Along the way, you’ll discover the different knives used in a sushi kitchen and when to use each one.
At the end of your class, you’ll receive a certificate recognizing your sushi-making skills.
Inside the restaurant, you’ll notice details inspired by Koto, the woman who rebuilt her family’s legacy after her parents’ restaurant was destroyed during the bombings of Tokyo in WWII. Through her dedication and love of sushi, the business not only resumed but expanded into 31 restaurants under the name Tsukiji Tamazushi.
This sushi restaurant, opened in 2022, is reservation-only. Its wooden interior and warm, earthy tones create a nostalgic atmosphere that reflects Koto’s vision.
The beautiful setting and fresh, delicious sushi will make your sushi-making experience both memorable and inspiring.
