This is more than just a meal. It’s an immersive journey into authentic sushi culture.
This unique experience goes beyond simply enjoying delicious sushi — it’s a rare chance to understand the techniques, traditions, and philosophy of Edomae Sushi at a real sushi counter in Kanda, created by a locally loved sushi shop.
You’ll interact directly with a professional sushi chef while being guided in English through the evolution of sushi.
The experience features a 14-piece tasting of fine sushi, including a comparison of various cuts of tuna.
As you eat, you’ll explore:
– Techniques such as simmering, searing, marinating, and wrapping
– How rice preparation changes flavor
– A tasting comparison between standard and premium ingredients
– Tools used by sushi chefs
– The taste and aroma of real wasabi
You’ll also step behind the counter, experience the chef’s workspace, and take commemorative photos.
Perfectly suited for everyone, from families with kids to solo travelers.

5.00Fantastic experience in Japanese Omakase. We had our 5 year old son with us and he learnt a lot about sushi. Would recommend anyone with young kids coming here

5.001. The food was exceptional - absolutely world-class Omakase, better than anything the West can offer up, with none of the pretentious nonsense that has spoiled American Omakase experiences. 2. To boot, this is likely the only truly "family/kid friendly" high-end Omakase experience you will find. It's a fantastic concept with a dedicated kids room/table and activities, and I think they are onto something big with this as they continue to refine it. Our daughter, almost 3, was mostly well-behaved, but at times definitely behaved like the 3 year old she is. No issue, the staff made us feel welcome and helped entertain her. 3. We had a wonderful time. We cannot express enough our appreciation for the way Moe, Fujito and the team treated our family - ownership please take note of how exceptional your team is. If you are thinking about this, stop thinking and just book it. You will be very happy that you did.
Don't waste your money. Terrible!!!

1.00I booked this experience 3 months ahead. Got a message requesting to change the time that I didn’t see until I got to the restuarant at the original time only to find the place closed. Reached out via messaging while heading back to my hotel but didn't hear back for a while only to find they claim eberyone was inside of what I found to be a dark and empty store on arrival. I called and was told if I come back, I could join the meal, but had only 5 minutes before their automatic cancelation time limit. They also claimed to have no more bookings this week to accomodate for their mistake/confusing messaging. They then refused to refund my $171 for a meal they were unable to provide and gave confusing messaging about the event.
An unforgettable sushi experience

Unique Omakase Experience

5.00If you are looking for one omakase experience in Tokyo, definitely consider REONA. The high quality ingredients were very fresh and the menu was carefully chosen to reflect Edo-style sushi. The dinner was accompanied by various explanations and short videos on the rich cultural history of sushi. The dinner ended with a traditional green tea/red bean Japanese dessert along with a charming tea made with Sakura flowers. The staff at REONA have clearly put a lot of time and effort into delivering a memorable experience for their guests; a wonderful two hours enjoyed. I look forward to bringing friends and family to REONA the next time I am in Tokyo.
Delicious and educational
