Inspired to Make Sushi Art at Home

Fay_N, May 2024

I've experienced a sushi art class elsewhere on a previous trip, but this one was better because the steps were easy to follow, the instructor and her husband (tool pics for us and did the clean up and dishes) spoke in English clearly, and were simply delightful! My friends (from CA, and on their first visit to Japan) and I (from Hawaii and my 11th trip to Japan) are so inspired to make sushi return we return! We found the ingredients needed to color the rice at a nearby supermarket so we bought some to bring home. My daughter, her husband, and in-laws.are planning a trip to Jaoan in Decmeber, and I will definitely recommend this class to them. 😊👍

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for taking your time to write your review for us!It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the sushi art class. I'm glad to hear that you found the steps easy to follow and that you could understand my English clearly. Please let me show your sushi when you make it at your home! I am sure that it makes everybody happy! I am looking forward to meeting your daughter and her family at my home in December！ Thank you again, Aya

A fun hour of sushi making

Kelly_H, Feb 2023

Ava is a Master of Sushi making and it was lovely to share her skill. She was very patient with us, but perhaps this is for people who know a little about making sushi already. Her home is delightful and we felt very welcome.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hi Kelly san, Thank you for coming the day before yesterday! Please let me know if you have some more questions about sushi. I will follow you up anytime! Thank you again, Aya Sakura

If I could give more than five stars I would

Alexandra_T, Dec 2022

We are traveling as a family with two teen girls and grandparents. This was a truly fun and special experience being able to cook together but also to be hosted in a traditional home made it truly unique. Aya and her husband were not only gracious hosts but wonderful teachers. We had so much fun and feel that this was one of the highlights of our time in Japan.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Alexandra_T, Thank you for giving us great review! And thank you for having with us! It was not only really really fun time with your family but also great pleasure for us! Please come back to our home someday. We are looking forward to meeting you at the next time in Kyoto! Thank you again! Aya Ito Sakura
