We had a fantastic time making Sushi with Chef Tanaka and guide AJ. The instruction was thorough and chef Tanaka was patient and helpful with my 9 and 12 year old kids. The fish was of course super fresh, and the kids say it’s the highlight of our Tokyo trip so far!

My two daughters and I had an amazing time at the sushi-making class in Tsukiji Market! The experience was hands-on, informative, and so much fun—from learning about ingredients to mastering the rolling techniques, we were engaged every step of the way. What stood out most was how attentive and accommodating the hosts were to our dietary needs and restrictions. They made sure we felt comfortable and included, which we truly appreciated. A perfect family activity and one of our favorite memories from Tokyo. Highly recommend for anyone visiting with kids or looking for a personalized culinary experience!

I didn't eat sushi but now I do

Alishia_S, Feb 2026

I am someone who did not eat sushi but after this class I do. The chef is really good and his skills are admirable. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. The host is also very knowledgeable and English speaking, he translate for the chef. The staff was very helpful and I had one laughing because I put too much wasabi on one of mines and I swear my eyes popped out my head but I could breath better lol. I was a little nervous about eating raw fish but it was delicious. Definitely will do again when I go back with a group.

This experience was one of the highlights of our trip. The chef (Tanaka) and translator (Yugo) were super educational - we learned a lot. We got to make 5 different nigiris and 1 maki sushi. The staff helped make it memorable by giving us sushi chef hats with our Japanese names written on them, and there were several opportunities for photos/videos. And if you’re still hungry after eating your creations, Tsukiji Market was right outside!

100% Recommend!

Angelique_D, Nov 2025

Absolutely authentic, well paced, with quality ingredients. Beginners welcome! There was a lovely English translator for the entire presentation who spoke fluently and ensured the Master Chef was understood correctly at every step. The Master Sushi Chef did a fish cutting demonstration, ensured we were all able to get selfies with the chef and kindly corrected us as we leaned our way around the technique. The sous chefs graciously took photos for our individual guests tables on our own phones, ensured we had extra rice, and promptly attended to table cleanliness while busy forming rice and fish into lunch! We even had an opportunity to sample authentic wasabi that was freshly grated from the wasabi root. This is an amazing experience, and if you're a fan of sushi or even curious about sushi, it is well worth your time.

Learn to prepare your own sushi during this immersive experience

Jasmine_M, Jun 2025

If you love sushi and love immersive cultural experiences, you won’t want to miss this opportunity. Located in Tsukiji fish market, this sushi making class allows you to learn about the history of sushi and its origins in Edo, or old Tokyo, and then make and eat the sushi for yourself. Our guide, Yoko, was very knowledgeable and also served to translate for our sushi chef, who taught us the technical parts involved in preparing nigiri and maki sushi. The sushi was delicious and the fish was so fresh and obviously locally sourced. I would recommend this to all sushi lovers and anyone who wants to learn about authentic Japanese cuisine.
