We had an amazing experience at the sushi making class! The class was well-organized, fun, and perfect for all skill levels. Our guide, Shohei, was fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient, especially with our son. He made sure we all felt comfortable and confident, and our son had a blast learning from him. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a memorable and delicious experience!
