Experience Details

Bright lights, bold flavors, and the buzz of Osaka set the scene for this hands-on sushi-making class in Dotonbori.


Just steps from the Dotonbori River, you will learn to craft 12 pieces of nigiri and gunkan sushi under the guidance of friendly, skilled sushi chefs.


Upon arrival, change into sushi chef attire and receive a brief introduction to the class. Great sushi begins with balance, so you will focus on its two essential elements: shari (seasoned sushi rice) and neta (toppings).


Start by preparing vinegared rice, learning how to portion and shape it properly. Then, discover how to top each piece to create nigiri, with the option to add wasabi to suit your taste.


Next comes the hands-on challenge of shaping sushi by hand. Your instructors will demonstrate traditional techniques, guiding you step by step as you form each piece. Once your nigiri is complete, assemble the gunkan sushi to round out your set.


After crafting your assortment, sit down and enjoy the sushi you made yourself.


To mark the experience, you will receive a small souvenir and a certificate of completion, a reminder of your time mastering the basics of sushi in one of Osaka’s most energetic neighborhoods.

너무 즐거운 경험이었습니다. 주인분과 직원분 모두 유쾌하게 잘 진행해 주셨고 영어가 매우 뛰어나십니다. 초밥을 민들어 보는 경험이 색달랐고, 스팟만 찍고 다니는 한국인들에 비해 체험을 많이하는 서양분들이 많이 방문하는 것 같습니다. 사진도 찍어주시고 졸업증서도 주시는 디테일도 좋았습니다. 만족도 높아요^^ 시간이 변경될 시 메일로 안내해 주시는데 송신...read more
