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).

Lastly, taste and compare three different kinds of Japanese sake recommended by your hosts, and deepen your understanding of Japan's national drink.
