Getting started

Once everyone is ready, the class transitions straight into the first cultural segment of the experience.

What to expect

Asakusa Tokyo sushi making class

This hands-on sushi experience in Asakusa combines food, tradition, and celebration in a single workshop. Across the session, you move from ceremonial sake and classic nigiri to a playful festival-style Super Ikura moment and a calming matcha finale.

Features

• Take part in the Kagami Biraki sake ceremony, a traditional Japanese celebration of new beginnings, and enjoy a glass of sake for the toast as the class officially opens.
• Learn authentic nigiri techniques with step-by-step guidance from a professional sushi instructor, practicing how to shape the rice and top it correctly so you can recreate it at home.
• Create gunkan maki with salmon roe in a festival-style Super Ikura experience, piling ikura onto your sushi for photos and memories that capture the lively side of Japanese food culture.
• Sit down to enjoy the meals you have prepared during the class, accompanied by water or Japanese green tea, so you can taste each piece while it is fresh.
• Receive the owner's secret sushi recipe and instructions, shared with participants only, giving you a detailed reference so you can repeat the techniques learned in the workshop.
• Close the experience with a matcha ceremony, which rounds off the class on a calm note and pairs with the skills and photos you take away from your time in Asakusa.

Wrapping up

After the matcha ceremony concludes, the organized portion of the class ends at the venue, leaving you free to depart from Asakusa or continue exploring the neighborhood on your own.
