Me and my friend attended a sushi-making class today, and it was absolutely fantastic! The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through each step with clear explanations and helpful tips. I learned so much—not just about rolling sushi but also about selecting ingredients, knife techniques, and the cultural significance of different types of sushi. The hands-on experience was fun and engaging, and the end result was delicious! Whether you’re a complete beginner or just looking to improve your skills, I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Japanese cuisine. A truly enjoyable and educational experience!

Really enjoyed making the sushi. The teaching was good. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. However we did feel rushed at the end as they wanted to set up for the next class which started at 12 noon - immediately after our class which was 10-12

Noriko-san is a very kind and an awesome host! She welcomed me with a sign that her daughter made. It was soo adorable that I took a photo! At that moment I did know the experience would be great! Firstly she helped me wearing yukata and explained me all the details about it. She has soo much to share and teach that I got impressed! Later we got a photo session and it was gorgeous. And then she teach me and demonstrated about the tea ceremony and explained how to behave, to make the tea and all the steps to get through it! Soo many details but she was pretty patient and respect my struggles. We also prepared an Okonomiyaki together that was super fun! My first time making it and I got proud of myself at the end, since I don't have any cooking skills. But actually, she also prepared a huge banquet! She loves cooking and teach me about the ingredients and how to make it properly. After all these activities we also had a Koto lesson. At first she made her performance and was soo glamorous! I love it! And then she instructed me how to play it. It was pretty hard but I was enjoying a lot! All these activities were at her home and that's something that became more special! The welcoming feeling was unique. Her husband and her daughter were adorable and welcome us as she did. I'm 100% would recommend her experience to people that want to visit Japan. She brings all sorts of of activities in an unique and special way with a lot of knowledge. Thank you for hosting us, Noriko-san!

Discover Gluten-Free Sushi Experiences

In the world of culinary delights, sushi holds a special place with its precise preparation and delicate flavors. For those who follow a gluten-free diet, enjoying sushi can sometimes be a challenge due to the soy sauce and other ingredients used. However, this doesn't mean you should miss out on this delicious experience. Our curated list of gluten-free sushi experiences offers you the opportunity to enjoy sushi's exquisite flavors without any concerns about gluten.

You’ll find everything from classic nigiri and sashimi to contemporary rolls and unique creations, all prepared with high-quality ingredients to guarantee a safe and enjoyable dining experience.

Types of Sushi and Gluten-Free Options

Sushi typically includes ingredients such as sushi rice, seaweed, fish, and vegetables, which are naturally gluten-free. However, some elements, like soy sauce, imitation crab, or tempura, often contain gluten. When opting for gluten-free sushi, substitutes such as tamari sauce provide that umami flavor without any gluten. Experiences that offer gluten-free sushi ensure that these concerns are addressed so that you can enjoy delicious rolls and nigiri without worries.

From beautifully presented sashimi to creatively crafted sushi rolls, the range of gluten-free options lets you savor the essence of Japanese cuisine in a more inclusive way. These experiences often include chefs who understand the intricacies of gluten-free cooking and ensure that cross-contamination is minimized, providing peace of mind to guests.

You can enjoy your sushi in serene, traditional Japanese settings or in vibrant modern spaces that bring together the rich traditions of sushi making with innovative gastronomy.

Whether it’s sampling gluten-free soy sauce alternatives or discovering new flavor combinations, each experience promises a delectable journey.
