This was an awesome experience! Sora is a great teacher and the interaction with him was fantastic! So glad I went for this sushi making with sake and green tea! Just a tip: If you are a small eater, you may consider using less rice for your sushi. ;)
We had a really nice experience making sushi with Tomo, the teacher. He was very funny, kind and entertaining during the training class. He provided very clear explanations about how to make sushi and matcha. We even had sake during the training. I really recommend trying this activity, especially for foreigners who loves sushi like me :)
What a great experience. Chef Ken was great, truly passionate about the skill of making sushi. We were a group of five ranging from 12 to 46 and we all enjoyed our experience. The fish was fresh as can be the Matcha was perfect the saki kept flowing. the rest of the staff was also excellent easy to communicate with an extremely helpful and attentive.
This experience is more than our expectations! I came here with my husband and our friends. We learned a lot and also having a fun time together. It was very special for us to make the sushi by ourselves and then eat it together with our loved ones. The matcha part also added a nice cultural feeling that make the whole experience feel complete. You can really feel how much care and passion the teachers put into this class. Highly recommend for couples, friends, or anyone who visit Tokyo!
My husband and I had an amazing time! We’ve always wanted to learn how to make sushi and this was by far the best way. We both had huge smiles on our faces the entire time and long after. Sora and crew were incredible and made the whole process completely doable. Highly recommend!
A really wonderful experience! We learn about sushi history, the process of Maki and Nigiri, how to make a matcha tea in the Japanese traditions. The instructor were super lovely and patient. We really had a great time. Highly recommanded!
this was such a good activity . the instructors were great and friendly . class was informative and it was great. would definitely recommend for persons to try if they are travelling to Japan. we made two types of sushi, toast, made matcha, and got a history of sushi making. the class was fun and interactive. 10/10
I’m not saying I’m a professional sushi chef but after this class I can do a little something . Class was informative, interactive and fun . Thank you to Solar.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience! The sake tasting, sushi-making class, and matcha whisking workshop were all incredibly enjoyable and well organized. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about Japanese culture, traditions, and the history behind each activity. Their teaching style was engaging, patient, and easy to follow, making the experience enjoyable for beginners and enthusiasts alike. The sushi-making portion was a highlight—everything was fresh, delicious, and surprisingly easy to learn thanks to the clear step-by-step guidance. It was so rewarding to create and enjoy our own sushi. The matcha whisking experience was equally memorable, offering a deeper appreciation for the art and ceremony behind preparing authentic matcha. From start to finish, the entire experience was interactive, educational, and fun. We left with new skills, a greater appreciation for Japanese culture, and some wonderful memories. Highly recommended!
Sora was an amazing instructor!! We had a great time after leaving Osaka and Kyoto. it was amazing to learn about the history of sushi making and matcha. There was endless sake as well. He was super attentive and accommodating. when he found out that one person in our group was vegetarian, he went to the back to cut up vegetables and other options for sushi because he felt bad that she wouldn’t be able to eat the sushi. I will never forget that. I recommend this to anyone visiting Tokyo because the experience was great.
