  • Chef's demonstration and hands-on sushi making, with English guidance
  • Eat the sushi you shaped on the spot, plus the chef's own
  • One Japanese tea or sake, on the house
  • Chef's attire and full set of tools all included
  • Setting up and clearing away take place before and after the session
The Flow / How the Day Runs

90 minutes in all.
Take the private dining room for yourselves.

Welcome

An English-speaking guide welcomes you and explains how the session will run. Change into the chef's attire and get into the spirit.

Demonstration

The chef demonstrates the real thing — from handling the rice to the movements of shaping, close up.

Hands-on sushi making

Now it is your turn. Shape 7 pieces (Basic) or 10 pieces (Luxury) alongside the chef.

Tasting

The sushi you shaped and the sushi the chef shaped, with Japanese tea or sake. At a table for your family alone.

Wasabi grated on sharkskin,
Authentic

The tools, the movements —
authentic Edomae style.

Fresh wasabi grated on sharkskin; nikiri soy brushed on by hand. The same tools and techniques the chef uses every day. In a space reserved for your family alone, children are welcome and there is no one else to mind.

For Families

Children, too,
can shape sushi alongside you.

The chef watches each pair of hands and gently teaches the shaping. It does not matter if the shape is not perfect. Eating the sushi you shaped yourself, right there, becomes a memory children do not forget.

The venue is yours alone. Take photos, go at your family's pace, with no one else around. Please tell us in advance about allergies or anything your children would rather not eat.
