About this activity

Learn to hand-roll authentic sushi from an enthusiastic Tokyo chef in a 90-minute hands-on class that blends practical skills with Japanese dining etiquette and philosophy. You'll craft your own pieces, understand the cultural significance behind Japan's most iconic dish, and leave with both techniques and respect for the traditions that define Japanese hospitality.

In Japan, we put our hands together and say "itadakimasu" before a meal and "gochisousama" after a meal. In this program, you can learn and experience Japanese spirits.

We hope "Japanese spirits of harmony" and "Feeling of gratitude" will spread to the world by sharing the beauty of Japanese tradition "Sushi making". You are here with us not only to make sushi, but to have fun and learn Japanese food cultures!
