Sushi Experience (2–3 Hours)

Step into the world of sushi craftsmanship in a relaxed, hands-on setting.

This experience is designed not just to make sushi, but to understand it —
through technique, balance, and the subtle differences that define true nigiri.

Under the guidance of a professional instructor, you will learn and compare four traditional nigiri techniques, each with its own philosophy and feeling:

  • Tate-Gaeshi – The traditional vertical pressing technique. Ideal for slippery ingredients, helping you shape nigiri with control.
  • Kote-Gaeshi – The standard horizontal pressing technique. A classic, stable method used for most regular nigiri.
  • Itte-Gaeshi (Itte-Nigiri) – Very fast two-hand technique, perfect for shaping nigiri quickly and smoothly
  • Honte-Gaeshi – Two styles: simplified and real traditional. The core technique for professional nigiri.

You will start practicing with rice only, focusing on shape, balance, and weight.
Which technique feels most natural to you — Tate-Gaeshi or Kote-Gaeshi?

Next, you will make real nigiri sushi step by step under the instructor’s guidance.

Commemorative photos are welcome using your smartphone or camera.
And of course, you will enjoy eating the sushi you have made.

Ingredients (Sushi Neta)

We prepare eight or more types of sushi ingredients, including both traditional and creative options:

  • Fresh fish such as salmon, tuna, and blue-backed fish
  • Cooked ingredients such as shrimp, egg, and eel
  • Fresh vegetables such as napa cabbage, avocado, and tomato
  • Creative options like tuna mayo, bacon, or grilled meat

We can accommodate individual dietary needs, including no raw fish, food allergies, vegetarian, vegan, and Halal preferences.

Our aim is to show that nigiri sushi can be enjoyed using familiar ingredients at home,
not only in professional kitchens.

🔪 SOMETHING NEW

We’ve officially launched our Japanese knife consulting & sourcing service.

　
Born from our highly acclaimed knife lectures, this new offering is designed for those ready to step into the world of true craftsmanship.

“I want to build a proper collection of Japanese knives… but I don’t know where to start.”
“I need a clear sense of budget.”
“I don’t want to make an expensive mistake.”
“I want to invest once—and never regret it.”

If any of this sounds familiar, this service is for you.

Through a private, hands-on consultation, you will handle and compare real knives while we carefully guide you toward the one—a blade that truly fits your hand, your style, and your culinary path.

This is not about simply buying a knife.
It’s about discovering your lifetime companion in the kitchen.

For those considering high-end purchases (JPY 100,000 and above), we also offer in-person accompaniment to specialty shops and markets, acting as your personal advisor throughout the process.
In such cases, a consulting fee of 10% of the final purchase price (+ transportation) will apply.
Please note: we do not accept any commissions or rebates from knife vendors.

From Honyaki to Kasumi (awase blades), stainless options to rust-resistant steels—
we take into account your technique, environment, and long-term vision to help you choose a knife that will stay with you for life.

Not just a knife.
Your knife.
