Our morning with Chef Saisho was one of the highlights of our two week trip to Japan. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Even my 15-year-old son was finally convinced to eat proper sashimi and nigiri following Saisho-san's gentle lead. Highly recommended. My only regret was not being able to return to his restaurant for an omakase evening.

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

Amazing Experience with Japanese Knives! This was an unforgettable experience that taught me so much about the art of Japanese knives. I learned: The secrets behind why Japanese knives are so sharp and special. Proper cutting techniques to elevate my skills in the kitchen. How to use the right knife for each task. Tips and tricks for sharpening knives effectively. The highlight was cutting fresh tuna and making a delicious tuna bowl—it was a true culinary delight! If you’re passionate about cooking or want to learn more about Japanese knives, this experience is a must-try. Highly recommend!

Tremendous experience in Tokyo! Authentic opportunity to enjoy the famous fish market with a local chef. Chat with various vendors and learn about what chefs look for when making their purchases. Nobu shops while we learn and then takes you back to his tiny restaurant and prepares what he just bought - the freshest sushi you’ll ever eat!! Do not miss!!
