Explore the diverse world of sushi and master its craft in this hands-on class in Asakusa, where you’ll learn to prepare maki sushi rolls and nigiri! Maki rolls are classic sushi rolls that make an excellent snack any time of day, while nigiri is the classic combination of shari (sweet vinegared rice) and neta (toppings). And because sushi is often enjoyed with sake, you'll taste three different sake varieties after your meal.
This 2-hour journey begins with an hour dedicated to unveiling the history of sushi and equipping you with the skills to craft your own. You’ll cut, assemble and roll your sushi under the careful instruction of your friendly hosts. Afterward, you’ll savor the fruits of your labor by indulging in your freshly made maki and nigiri sushi! Lastly, taste and compare three different kinds of Japanese sake recommended by your hosts, and deepen your understanding of Japan's national drink.
