Private Sushi Masterclass: Nigiri, Gunkan, & Maki (Kyoto)
Cooking Classes
We got very lucky and were the only 2 people who signed up for the day so we basically got a private sushi-making lesson. Hide (the teacher) was very kind, patient, easy to understand English and led a very calm experience class. The quality of the fish was amazing and Hide (pronunciation: He-day) explained what each fish was when it wasn't something classic like tuna or salmon. We loved learning how to make nigiri and teka-maki rolls, and we definitely think we could do it ourselves at home. We even went to an omakase sushi after this lesson and noticed the techniques of the sushi chef and what we learned in this lesson. Also, you don't have to worry about coming away with pictures. Hide will take photos for you throughout the experience and airdrop them before you leave so your cooking experience is sanitary. I think it's a fun, unique and tasty experience for Kyoto! Highly recommend!

Time flew by! We had an amazing and super educational morning with Miho. Learned a ton, and really feel closer to the Japanese kitchen now. She also helped us decode the supermarket and gave tips for gifts and treats to bring back. We highly recommend taking this class!
