very good food and friendly people, i reccommend this experience!
An Absolute Masterclass in Kyoto Before the official opening of Kyoto’s most anticipated sushi-ya, this preview cooking class was nothing short of revelatory. Under the watchful eye of a third-generation itamae, we didn’t just roll maki—we learned the shari (vinegared rice) temperature, the precise knife angles for hikarimono, and the spiritual weight of each gesture. The pace was unhurried, the instruction crystalline, and the flavours ethereal: that first bite of akami melted like cool silk against warm rice. Utterly brilliant. If this is the prelude, the restaurant itself will be legendary. 5/5 – reserved, radiant, and ruthlessly authentic.
Loved this beautiful and insightfull experience! I learned a lot with the sushi chef. If you go to Kyoto be sure to experience this! You wont regret it

Absolutely wonderful sushi-making class in Kyoto! The instructor was friendly, patient, and explained every step clearly—from preparing the rice to shaping nigiri.Everything felt well organised, hands-on, and welcoming, even for complete beginners.
