A memorable and enjoyable sushi preparation lesson, very professionally led by delightful teachers. An excellent cookery studio set back from the main roads in a quiet residential area, that catered ideally for a small group of 8 participants. The tuition was expertly led in a charming manner, the facilities and equipment first rate and the final dishes that we created were really good and tasted delicious! Moreover, it was a fun activity. Thoroughly recommended as we really enjoyed it.

Just fantastic. If my grandmother was Japanese and had a cooking class in the middle of Tokyo, yet in a very quiet and peaceful residential area, this would be it! Class is 10 people, very clean informative and friendly. I've taken similar courses in other cities but this was my favorite!

Enjoyable Sushi Class

What a fun and interesting experience! A must for all sushi lovers! Yuca and Yummy were wonderful friendly and full of knowledge about the foods we were making, providing us with some history as well. If you have a few hours this is not to be missed on your trip to Tokyo!

Brillant cooking class with Yummy. I learned so much about sushi and Japanese cooking in general! It was so much fun. Even if you never cook, everything is tailored to your needs and feels easy. I recommend this workshop 💯 %

Even if I don't feel ready to switch from takeaway to self-made sushi, now I understand all the steps involved. We really enjoyed it.

Wonderful course with good teachers who also told a lot about the history behind sushi and Japanese cooking. You get to learn how to cook everything from scratch and really recommend it to anyone who loves sushi.

If you love 🍣 this event is for you.

John_B, Apr 2024

Yuko, Aya, and Yuki were the best, and made this event very fun and informative. We made a delicious dinner consisting of seven different types of sushi (Miso soup, Tamagoyaki, Inari Age, Hosomaki, California Roll, Ebi Nigiri, Tamago Sushi, and 4-Piece Nigiri). I would definitely recommend adding this to your list of things to do in Tokyo.

Sushi Making Fun

Shannon_M, Mar 2024

Participated in this class the day before the marathon as a low-impact activity. The women leading the class were lovely. It was a diverse group of travelers (solo, couples, family). We had fun cooking the rolled eggs and making the sushi. The sushi was delicious & plentiful!

A good way to spend an afternoon

Wendy_A, Feb 2024

This was our last class with Cooking Sun in Tokyo before we were leaving Japan after our 5 week adventure and it was a fitting perfect end to our trip. i booked our family into the class which included our two grandchildren (10 and 12). Since the classes are small we took up most of the classroom but had another lovely couple from France join us. We all feel we learned so much and then produced a big sushi meal to all eat. Cooking Sun classes are very well organized and well taught with the instructors all able to speak English. I took 3 other classes from Cooking Sun in Kyoto and Tokyo and everyone of them were worth attending and were very enjoyable. They are a professional but a personable school and are reasonably priced for what they offer. They covered a variety of sushi styles and gave you a good idea of how to make sushi and what the nuances of Japanese cookery entails. if you are looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon and opening up your mind to new experiences this is what these classes offer. Thank you Cooking Sun for another good memory!

Fantastic cooking class

Russell_T, Jan 2024

One of the highlights of our trip for sure. The teachers were very knowledgeable and friendly, class was easy to follow and very fun. Plus our sushi at home will be way better now!

Fun and educational experience

Rikki_S, Jan 2024

We had a great time learning how to make sushi, tamago, and miso soup (and eating it). The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and speak great English. Don’t expect the best quality fish, but everything is still delicious and we learned a lot!

5 star!

Paul_S, Nov 2023

Great experience

Harrison_C, Aug 2023

Making the tamagoyaki was intimidating but very fun and rewarding. My sushi wasn’t the prettiest but still very delicious. The hosts were also very friendly and helpful.

Family sushi making fun

brilewis, Aug 2023

Family of four had a great experience with laughs and learning about making traditional Japanese foods. The instructors were knowledgeable and patient with our fumbling skills and their excellent English helped with our language deficits. The room was comfortably cooled which was also a nice escape from the hot August sun. Thoroughly recommend for others.

Great experience for anyone looking to make sushi while in Japan

Harry_S, Aug 2023

This was a wonderful experience for anyone looking to learn how to make sushi and also looking to understand the history of the cuisine. The chefs spoke excellent english as well
