5.00This afternoon my daughter and I did the sushi making class together while our boat was in dock. It was a short 3 minute walk from the port. There was a sign notating where the sign location was. Given how complicated some of these are to locate, this was truly helpful. The guides were hospitable and humorous. The sushi and delicious- literally caught in the sea the day prior & probably the tastiest I have ever had. I assure you there was more than the two of us could eat- they didn’t cheapen out on quality or quantity. At the conclusion we took some fund pictures and they let us roam the “sushi museum.” When in port, if you seek an easy & laid back experience that is truly Japanese & delicious- this is for you.
