Our guide, Ayuri, was wonderful. This is a great tour. My family had a lot of fun with the sushi making class with chef. The quality of the fish provided was fresh and tempura was the best I’ve had so far in Japan. We learned a lot about the history of sushi and sampled different type of saki. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in sushi.
