Learn about the history of sushi and Japanese dining etiquette
Make nigiri sushi (8 pieces) and hand-rolled sushi (tuna or crab)
Taste real wasabi, which is rare and difficult to grow
Watch the chef’s horse mackerel sashimi cutting show
Enjoy the meal while hearing stories from a professional chef
Join a professional sushi chef for a private hands-on sushi-making class.
First, you’ll learn all about the history of sushi and the proper dining etiquette at sushi restaurants, so you can dine out like a local in Japan. With the Japanese table manners and faux pas out of the way, you’ll get started with the sushi cooking class.
Guests will have the opportunity to observe the chef’s skilled knife work as they break down a horse mackerel and slice sashimi. From then on, everyone will have the chance to participate, creating perfect, bite-sized nigiri sushi and temakizushi (hand-rolled sushi) that contain either tuna or crab.
During this cooking class, you’ll also be able to taste real wasabi. You’ll find that it’s pretty different from the imitation product you may be used to. Real wasabi (not the stuff that comes in a tube or is served at conveyor-belt sushi restaurants) is notoriously difficult to grow, thriving in shady beds of running water. As such, many people abroad haven’t had the opportunity to try real wasabi, and it’s quite a luxury in Japan.
As you sit down to a meal of sushi you personally made, you’ll also get to hear stories from the chef and learn more about their background. At the end of the experience, you’ll come away with newfound skills and photos to commemorate the experience, as well as other souvenirs to take home!

It was very interesting for beginners, we learned how to shape the sushi in the traditional way dressed like a professional, how to cut the sashimi, and all this with information about the fish. Sushi we made by ourselves tasted delicious. We also got a couple of cute souveniers.
We highly recomment this!!
