one of the best activities we did in Japan

Sheri_S, Dec 2025

absolutely amazing experience! We didn’t know exactly what to expect, but being invited into the personal home of a MasterChef to learn about sushi making was what happened and it was incredible! Way more food than we could ever even hope to eat, and the fish was so fresh. Review of the sushi making

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m delighted to hear that the experience exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed learning sushi in a more personal, home-style setting. It’s always my pleasure to share not only the techniques but also the atmosphere of Japanese hospitality. I’m also glad you enjoyed the freshness of the fish—and yes, we do tend to prepare quite a lot of food! I hope this experience remains a special memory of your time in Japan, and I would be very happy to welcome you again anytime.

AMAZING Sushi-making experience with fantastic hosts!

We had an AMAZING time with Mika and Keitaro! Our visit to their home took us a little off of the beaten path, and we were SO glad we included it in our itinerary. They had everything prepared for us when we arrived and were extremely gracious hosts. We love all kinds of sushi and I have to say; the ingredients Mika and Keitaro provided were absolutely some of the best we've ever had. Sushi making is an art, and Keitaro proved to us that he's a master. We ate our fill of fresh sashimi and sushi as quickly as we could make it. We also skipped lunch, so we probably ate more than a family of 4 has ever eaten! They were both so gracious, and very considerate of our daughter's preference for non-fish items. They even packaged up some homemade eel sauce for our son to take home because he's crazy for unagi. The Japanese name posters and a parting gift were absolutely lovely and we'll cherish them and our wonderful memory of this fantastic experience. We give our highest recommendation for this experience!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We are truly delighted that you chose to visit our home and include this experience in your journey. It means a lot to us to hear that you enjoyed not only the sushi making, but also the ingredients and the overall atmosphere. Mika and I are especially happy that your whole family, including your daughter and son, could enjoy the experience in their own way. Hearing that the eel sauce was a hit made us smile! Your warm words and highest recommendation mean more to us than we can express. We will always remember this wonderful time together. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you again someday—thank you once again!
