Experience Details
Though it may just look like toppings on seaweed and rice, anyone who’s tried their hand at it knows that making sushi can be deceptively difficult.
That’s why Miho is here to help. A certified graduate of a Tokyo sushi school, she has led sushi-making classes in the Japan Information and Cultural Center in Switzerland for 10 years, and instructed hundreds of students. Having recently returned to Japan from her stint abroad, she now offers her culinary expertise to eager visitors in her western Tokyo hometown of Kichijoji.
On arriving at JR Kichijoji Station, you’ll follow Miho to her nearby kitchen. On the way, you'll pass by a local market where you can see fresh fish and vegetables being sold. Once you've arrived at the cooking venue, under Miho's expert guidance, you’ll learn to make several of the most popular sushi, including seaweed-wrapped maki rolls, gunkan-style “battleship” sushi, and of course, the classic nigiri. All the while, Miho will teach you the history and culture of sushi, as well as provide an English copy of the recipes.
A popular stopping point for westbound travelers on the way to Mt Takao and Arakura Sengen Shrine or Mt Fuji in neighboring Yamanashi, Kichijoji is full of trendy eateries and cafes, boasts a thriving nightlife scene and enjoys easy access by train.
Its close proximity to the Mitaka-no-Mori Ghibli Park also ensures a steady stream of Miyazaki Hayao enthusiasts year-round. But it’s spring that sees the greatest surge in visitors, thanks to the nearby Inokashira Park’s spectacular burst of cherry blossoms.
