Private Sushi Making with a Sushi Master
Description
Join a private workshop led by a sushi master with experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant. With fully bilingual staff and private settings, every detail will be shared personally with you. Our sushi master brings over five years of sushi-making experience, including time at a Michelin-starred restaurant. His approach is rooted in precision — adjusting slicing angles, pressure, curing, and aging techniques with a scientific eye, stripping away the unnecessary to let each ingredient speak for itself. As the seasons shift and each fish's condition changes, so does his method. We invite you to explore the craft of sushi through the eyes of a master.

We just enjoyed the most fabulous experience learning to make sushi with a master chef. Along with the chef, they had two very friendly guides that assisted us in making sushi. They had perfect English and were very easy to understand, and were extremely friendly & welcoming. We had a group of seven ranging in ages from 9 years old to 49, and they made the experience very fun & engaging. Our family frequently enjoys sushi at home in California, and now our kids will have a much deeper appreciation for what goes into making beautiful, delicious sushi. We would highly recommend this experience to friends & family!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly happy to hear that your family enjoyed the sushi-making experience with our chef and guides. It means a lot to us that guests of all ages — from children to adults — were able to have fun together and enjoy learning about Japanese sushi culture. We are especially honored to hear that your children gained a deeper appreciation for sushi and the craftsmanship behind it. Comments like yours are incredibly encouraging for our entire team. Thank you again for joining us during your trip to Japan. We hope to welcome you and your family again someday!
Had an amazing experience here which lasted around 2 hours. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable and provided great instructions. The kitchen setup was amazing to see and experience and provided a great atmosphere. The food was great and it was interesting learning about a different form of sushi than westerners are typically used to. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough, the food was great and the host/translators English was perfect and answered all of our questions. We opted to include a Sake tasting menu and the sake recommendations were also great as well as the explanations on the different types of Sake. I would recommend checking out the location in advance on Google maps as it was a little hard to identify the correct building as we couldn’t see a sign on the outside but that could have been us missing it. While on the more expensive side of some of the Sushi experiences that we saw online Must do experience and couldn’t fault it!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the entire experience — from the sushi-making and sake tasting to the atmosphere of our kitchen and the conversations with our staff and guides. It means a lot to us that you found the experience both enjoyable and educational, especially learning about traditional Japanese sushi styles that may differ from what is commonly experienced overseas. We are also very glad you enjoyed the sake tasting and our team’s explanations and recommendations. Thank you as well for your valuable feedback regarding the location and building signage. We sincerely appreciate you pointing this out, and we will continue working to make it easier for future guests to find us smoothly. We understand that our experience may be priced higher than some other options, so hearing that you felt it was worthwhile truly means a great deal to our entire team. Thank you again for visiting us during your trip to Japan. We hope to welcome you again someday!
Very friendly and welcoming, got to try different kinds of fish and learn the technique and history of sushi. Rin and Riki were great!
Thank you for the warm review!! We are glad you liked our fish and course. Warm regards, Rin and Riku and the EMI Team
The studio itself was bright, spotless, and beautifully organized. Every tool had its place, and everything we needed was prepared in advance. It showed a level of care and professionalism that made the class feel premium.
We are happy to hear the studio was to your liking! Safe travels and we hope to see you again soon! EMI Team
I had a great experience as their experience and depth of knowledge. I learnt a lot about the different kind of fish and what’s in season as well as the process of making sushi from a real master! I’d highly recommend
Thank you very much for your warm recommendation. It was a pleasure having you and we hope to see you again soon! EMI Team
Rin and Riku were the most amazing instructors! We cannot express how great this experience is. It’s so unique to have a private sushi lesson.
Thank you very much for joining the workshop! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the private experience. Safe travels. EMI Team
I had a wonderful time making sushi. And ate a lot types of fish so it was fun to try different ones. The price is good there was rare fish. I was there talking making eating for one and a half hour. There was two men, one was the sushi master and his translator. The atmosphere was warm. The space was big. I was there alone, but I think it’ll fit 5 to 6 people. Thanks for the experience. It was wonderful.
Thank you very much for your warm reply. It was a pleasure having you and we hope to see you again! EMI Team
The sushi making class with Toma and Riku was absolute blast. We started off with a history of sushi which was a nice way to learn more about the craft. We then got into the hands on part, where chef Riku showed us how to make sushi rolls and nigiri while Toma translated it for us. They are a fantastic team and were very welcoming. The class has a max of 6 people but on this day it was just my wife and I which made it even more personal. However, while some sushi classes can have up to 20 people, even having 6 people would make it feel intimate and personal which we really sought for. They walked us through each step and by the end of it, we had a great meal using their delicious fish as well even paired it with some sake. Since there are many sushi making classes to choose from, I wanted express just how much of a delight these two were to learn from and highlight that if you’re seeking something more intimate then look no further. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting them and learning from them and even took them up on some of their restaurant recommendations. 10/10 experience and would book again!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled you and your wife had such a great experience with us. We're glad the history lesson set the stage and that the hands-on portion with Riku's guidance and Tomo's translating! made for a memorable day. Now that we've moved to fully private sessions, we can offer that intimate, personal atmosphere to everyone. It was truly a pleasure meeting you both and sharing our passion for sushi-making. We hope our restaurant recommendations turned out well too! With gratitude, EMI Team
Our flight was delayed into Narita and we were late for the class. These gentleman were kind, accommodating, and gracious, allowing us to arrive an hour late. The sushi grade was excellent, the discussion interesting and it was awesome to learn more about their experiences and the history of sushi in Japan. Tomo even gave us some pizza (yes, pizza) and bar recommendations. Excellent experience for 2 or 12 people. Intimate, chill, and delicious.
Thank you so much for this kind review! We're really glad we could accommodate your late arrival after your flight delay - we know travel doesn't always go as planned, and we wanted to make sure you could still enjoy the experience. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to see you again if you're ever back in Japan!
Absolutely incredible experience! I learned so much and had all my questions answered. If you want to learn how so make authentic sushi with a lot of personalised instructions, this is the class for you!
Thank you for your kind review. We are happy to hear you learned much and hope this experience will live with you to enrich your culinary life! Warm regards, EMI sushi making team
