Maki Sushi (Roll Sushi)

Maki means 'rolled sushi.' We use a bamboo mat to roll the rice and fillings inside a sheet of dried seaweed (Nori).

Main

Nigiri Sushi

Nigiri is the most famous style in Japan. It consists of a slice of fish placed on top of a small oval ball of rice.

Main

Matcha

To finish our meal, let’s try making Matcha. Green tea is excellent for refreshing your palate after sushi.

I had an incredible time at this sushi-making class! Our instructor, Sensei Ken, was fantastic—he was extremely patient and made sure everyone in the group was taken care of, regardless of their skill level. He took the time to guide us through each step, ensuring our rolls actually looked as good as they tasted. Mary was a great assistant as well. She was so kind and very friendly, making the whole environment feel welcoming and fun. It was a truly memorable experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on activity. As a wonderful bonus, we also got to do some matcha making, which was the perfect way to round out the session.

had an amazing...

Shankora_C, May 2026

had an amazing sushi-making experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. The staff were incredibly lovely, welcoming, and patient throughout the entire class, making everyone feel comfortable and included. It was so much fun learning how to prepare different types of sushi step by step, and the instructors explained everything clearly while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and it was so satisfying getting to eat the sushi we made ourselves at the end. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that combined great food, friendly people, and lots of laughter. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

Great way to make sushi at home

Great hands on experience that we will be able to reproduce ar home. The instructors answered everyone's questions and were very helpful

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for the kind review! Hearing that you'll be able to reproduce it at home is honestly the best feedback we could ask for — that's exactly what we hope every guest takes away from our sushi making class in Asakusa, Tokyo. Hope to welcome you back someday!

Don’t wait book now, awesome class

Sky_k, May 2026

The instructors were amazing, fun, and very accommodating. It was a great cultural experience. If you have a family this is a must do. The length of the class is just right. The sushi, sake , matcha and mochi were perfect. We did a 4:00 booking and it was a great dinner. We became sushi masters in 1.5 hrs. I give this a 5 star.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for the kind review! Becoming sushi masters in 90 minutes — we love that framing! Your tip about the 4 PM booking doubling as dinner is something many of our guests appreciate too, so it's great to hear it worked for your family. Thank you for calling our sushi making class in Asakusa, Tokyo a family must-do. Hope to welcome you back someday!

Sushi made easy

Karina_L, Apr 2026

Fun class to learn how to make sushi. The team gave clear instructions that were easy to follow. Our 10 yo was so proud of the sushi he made. They were all very attentive and ensured we understood each step. Thanks for a great class.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for the kind review! There's truly nothing better than seeing a 10-year-old proud of the sushi they made themselves — that's exactly the kind of memory we hope every family takes home from our sushi making class in Asakusa, Tokyo. So glad the step-by-step approach worked well for all of you. Hope to welcome you back someday!

I had no experience making sushi before this class, but Ken made everything so easy and fun to follow. By the end, I was making nigiri and maki that actually looked and tasted great! The location in Asakusa is perfect too. A must-do in Tokyo!
