    Excellent sushi experience in a lovely Tokyo home

    Brian_J, Dec 2024
    We had a wonderful time learning about and making sushi at Akemi's Sushi Kitchen! Akemi and Dan are super friendly hosts and we enjoyed the atmosphere of their lovely home. Akemi is a great teacher and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Even though we were already big sushi fans we still learned a lot of new things! We would highly recommend this experience to friends and family.
