What to expect

Sushi Noboru Takanawa Gateway

This is a hands-on sushi making workshop that combines practical instruction with gourmet tasting. You learn from a professional chef, watch high-level knife skills up close, and compare your own creations with the chef’s pieces as part of the Luxury Course option.

Features

• A sushi chef demonstration and knife show lets you closely observe a master artisan at work, from precise slicing techniques to how each cut affects the texture of the fish. The knife-skills show is designed so you can see every movement clearly and understand how professional sushi is prepared.
• During the sushi making experience, you shape your own pieces step by step, following the chef’s guidance on rice handling, ingredient balance, and presentation. The Luxury Course option includes a taste comparison between your handmade sushi and pieces crafted by the professional chef.
• A real wasabi tasting experience introduces you to freshly prepared wasabi, so you can note its fragrance and flavor compared with common substitutes. The chef explains how it pairs with different styles of sushi during your tasting.
• At the end of the session, you receive a certificate that recognizes your participation in the sushi making experience, giving you a tangible reminder of the techniques and tastings you completed.
