Private Temari Sushi Making Class in Nagoya

Temari sushi turns a simple meal into something playful and beautiful. Inspired by traditional Japanese thread balls, these bite-sized rice creations are shaped into neat, colorful rounds topped with fresh ingredients. They are fun to make, surprisingly versatile, and a creative take on the classic rice-and-toppings combination. In this hands-on cooking class in Nagoya, you will learn how to prepare your own temari sushi and a traditional Japanese dessert, all guided by your friendly host, Chinatsu. When you arrive, Chinatsu will welcome you into a cozy rental kitchen in the city center, where your cooking experience begins. You will start by shaping and decorating the temari sushi balls, arranging toppings to create vibrant, eye-catching bites.
