It looks easy just to watch craftsmen making it, I learned that there are more types of material than I expected and there are many different processes.
Roll up your sleeves and have a great time!

We had such fun with Nat, learning sushi history and etiquette, and how to make four different types of sushi. The program is varied, well-designed and everything was well-organised. I loved the ‘Pop Quiz’ at the beginning and the little history lesson; which dispelled some misconceptions that I had held about sushi. I learned a lot. I particularly liked that food hygiene was paramount. Nat is an excellent instructor, and a warm and friendly person, with a relaxed style. She explained every step, provided great hints and tips, and made sure we were getting to grips (literally) with new techniques. She made everything seem easy, even tricky rolling techniques, like the Inside-Out sushi roll. That has given me a lot of confidence, and I can’t wait to try my new-found skills when I get home… if only I can find some decent fish! There was a lot of sushi to eat, once we had finished - so make sure to bring your appetite with you. We enjoyed our time with her greatly and I highly recommend this course.
Experience making sushi that even Japanese can enjoy!

Sushi making experience that I have always been interested in! This time, I joined with a family from the United States. Not only making sushi and eating it, but also learning sushi knowledge and Japanese culture in quiz format, so I as a Japanese learned a lot, not only foreign people but also children enjoyed it! It was also good to be able to do it in an at-home atmosphere while talking to the staff. We were able to make not only nigiri sushi but also warships and cute sushi art, and we all had delicious food at the end.
Wonderful experience !

In a warm and friendly atmosphere, the two hours flew by. When nigiri sushi, battle ship shaped sushi, inside-out rolls, and decorative sushi which I made were beautifully arranged on the plate, I was so delighted. It was my first time making decorative sushi, but by following the instructions, I was excited to see the beautiful patterns appear when slicing it. Not only can you enjoy sushi-making, but you can also learn about the history of sushi, dining etiquette, as well as Japanese food and language. I highly recommend joining this tour!

We did the class with Nat and found it to be an enjoyable highlight of our visit to Japan. Nat speaks English well, is knowledgable and has a good command of knowledge about sushi. She answered all of our questions, and the presentation was very informative.

I like sushi, but I didn't have a chance to make it myself, so I tried it. Through my experiences with people from overseas, I discovered new things, such as that Japanese people are often perceived as making sushi at home. The instructors were friendly and it was a fun and valuable experience.
Fun, family-friendly sushi making class

I went with my two kids aged 10 and 12 who love sushi. We had a blast with Nat-San who shared lots of history, facts and very practical experience as we made four kinds of sushi. We had a blast and would totally recommend this very personalised experience in Tokyo.
