Experience Details
Temari sushi are round, bite-sized balls of sushi, much smaller than the average piece of nigiri sushi. During the Edo period, they were much larger than they are today, but they were since made smaller so that geisha and maiko in Kyoto could eat them without smudging their lipstick. Find out how to make these delicate temari sushi bites during this Wagyu Beef and Temari Sushi Bento Class, and eat like a geisha! You’ll also learn all about Japanese rice and the delicate balance of flavors and techniques needed to make excellent sushi rice.
But that’s not all! You’ll also learn to cook three delicious Japanese side dishes, make delicious miso soup, and cook up a small but juicy slice of Japanese wagyu beef. Finally, you’ll put it all together in your wagyu beef and temari sushi bento. While you enjoy your meal, you can also have your choice of drink (either a glass of raw sake or an award-winning plum wine) if you are of legal drinking age in Japan. But children and those under the legal drinking age of 20 years old can enjoy a sweet koji pudding with brown rice syrup and green tea instead.

Experience Location
Chitose-Funabashi is a residential area to the west of the city. You’ll find rows of apartments in this quiet neighborhood, not far from the Setagaya Art Museum and Gotokuji Temple, which plays homage to the lucky “beckoning cat” with its a sea of red and white waving maneki neko dolls. Family and friends spend time along the open banks of the peaceful Tama River, dividing Tokyo and Kanagawa with its gentle flowing waters bit further south.
