This is a Must if you are a sushi fan. Experts Teri and Shim are pros who explained the delicate works of sushi. It was most delicious and informative. This Michelin restaurant was clean and easy to access.

Underwhelmed

David_E, May 2026

We were expecting more than forming a 10g riceball onto a piece of fish. Do not expect to learn to slice and prepare the fish.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that our experience did not meet your expectations and left you feeling underwhelmed. Our current workshop is designed to focus primarily on the delicate art of shaping and assembling sushi, rather than the raw preparation and slicing of the fish. However, we deeply value your comments and recognize that our course description could be clearer. We will review our promotional materials immediately to ensure future guests have a precise understanding of the class dynamic. Your insights are invaluable to us as we continuously strive to refine our hospitality and culinary experiences.

Matt_L, Apr 2026

What a delicious way to learn something new! Shin san took us through the proper shaping, presentation and seasoning of Japanese Sushi! The ingredients were super fresh and we got to try delicious things we've never had before (Tuna brain!). Come and try you hand at the craft while you sip on sake and green tea!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning the art of sushi making under Shin's guidance, from the delicate shaping to the final presentation. It is a pleasure to know that the freshness of our seasonal ingredients and the unique flavors, such as the tuna, left a lasting impression. Your recommendation is truly encouraging for our entire team. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable culinary journey in Tokyo.

Avoid!

Russell_D, Sept 2025

We booked this many weeks in advance of our trip from New York to Tokyo. We showed up to the restaurant, and it was closed. We tried contacting the vendor (Viator did too) with no response via email, text and call. We were so looking forward to this, and our afternoon was ruined spent trying to get a refund while finding another activity while on vacation. AVOID!

Response from Host, Sept 2025

We are truly sorry for the unacceptable experience and the frustration it caused during your visit to Tokyo. Due to an internal oversight on our part, the necessary preparations at the sushi restaurant were not properly completed, and the venue was closed upon your arrival. This was entirely our responsibility, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment. We are thoroughly reviewing our procedures to ensure that such a situation never occurs again. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—it is invaluable in helping us improve.

Sushi-Making Experience

Min_K, Jun 2025

Don’t miss out on this chance for real learning and delicious food! After suiting up with sushi chef outfits, our chef and teacher taught us the deceivingly simple method for making sushi — it was hard to make our nigiri look as perfect as the master chef’s nigiri! We worked with beautiful cuts of fish and had a great time crafting and eating.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed both the hands-on learning and the delicious sushi. Making nigiri alongside a master chef can certainly be a humbling experience, and we appreciate your kind words about the quality of the ingredients and overall experience. We hope your time with us added something memorable to your stay in Tokyo.

We've only got a 3 here...

Christian_K, Apr 2026

We have only given a 3 out of 5 points due to the following points: Since it was a cooking class, we assumed that the chef also knows English. Unfortunately, this was only very rudimentary. Communication and questions were in fact not possible, which was a real shame. In addition, the course was given as 1.5 h. We were essentially done after an hour. The chef himself was very friendly, also the quality of the sushis was very good. However, there were not 14 per person, but only 7 sushi. All in all, we would therefore no longer book it at the price offered.
