Tokyo Tsukiji Market Sushi Making Class (with Professional Sushi Chef)

Learn Authentic Sushi Making in Tsukiji Market

Begin your sushi class in a traditional space located in the heart of Tsukiji Outer Market. A professional sushi chef and an English-speaking host will guide you through the entire class, facilitating explanations and communication.

Starting with a fish filleting demonstration, you'll learn about the fundamentals of sushi and Japanese knives before trying your hand at making nigiri and maki sushi. Finally, complete your unique culinary experience by savoring the sushi you've made alongside sushi expertly prepared by the chef.


From Fish Filleting to Nigiri & Maki Sushi

First, watch a live fish filleting demonstration by a professional sushi chef. Observe up close how a whole fish is prepared for sushi and learn about the Japanese knives and cutting techniques used by sushi chefs. Then, dive into making sushi yourself. Follow the chef's instructions to handle the rice and ingredients, and craft your own nigiri and maki sushi. Using actual sushi-making tools and tableware will enhance your immersive experience of Japanese sushi culture.

Savor Your Creations and Chef's Sushi

The class culminates in tasting the sushi you've prepared. Additionally, you'll receive a piece of sushi freshly made by the professional sushi chef with wasabi, allowing you to witness their swift and delicate skills firsthand. Traditional dashi broth, a perfect accompaniment to sushi, is also served. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. For those interested, a Sushi & Sake Pairing class is offered at 3:30 PM. Before or after your class, we highly recommend exploring the vibrant Tsukiji Outer Market right outside.
