Kyoto sushi making experience with a professional chef

Have you ever fancied becoming a sushi chef for a day? The cooking class offers just that opportunity. Under the guidance of a Taisho, a master chef with years of experience, you'll learn to roll, shape and create your own sushi.

You'll sample various types of Japanese sake, learning the basics of pairing them with sushi. The culinary journey includes enjoying nine pieces of sushi (one expertly crafted by the chef), maki rolls, and crispy tempura. To conclude, you'll whisk your own matcha green tea and savour it alongside traditional Japanese sweets.

This hands-on experience is suitable for everyone, from total beginners to food enthusiasts. It's an ideal activity for families, solo travellers, and couples alike. There's no need to worry if you're apprehensive about using knives—the chef takes care of all slicing.

The interactive atmosphere of the class makes it easy to connect with others, even if you're attending alone. With expert guidance, delectable food, and a deep dive into Japanese traditions, this cooking class provides an immersive cultural experience.
