Experience Details
What makes sushi truly good? Perhaps what first comes to mind is fresh fish, crisp seaweed, or fluffy rice seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar, all of which are undoubtedly important. But there’s also a tool involved: a sharp knife to cut sushi toppings precisely, and an expert hand behind it.
In this sushi-making class in central Tokyo, you will learn what goes into sushi-making from an expert chef, and learn to make your own nigiri and sushi rolls in a spacious and modern kitchen studio. You’ll also learn an overview of the history of sushi and its cultural significance through interactive activities.
