An amazing experience! The class was a lot of fun and the hosts were super friendly. I was very surprised by the result: I managed to create a bento so beautiful that I couldn't even believe I made it with my own hands! The sushi turned out beautiful and delicious. Absolutely recommended in Tokyo!

We loved the entire experience! The sushi nigiri class was fantastic and super fun. The hosts explained everything very clearly, which allowed us to learn a lot about their culture. We were completely satisfied to be able to create our own bento, which, besides being beautiful, was delicious! Without a doubt, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Tokyo. A 100% recommended experience for everyone!

Komi & Mia are wonderful hosts. The class is simple yet informative and perfect for all skill levels. Our preteen son had a great time as well. My husband and I do not order nigiri often back home, but the quality and freshness of the fish made all the difference here. My husband proclaimed that it was the best nigiri he'd had. We greatly enjoyed our selt-made bento! Don't hesitate to take the class with your entire family!

I had an absolutely incredible time at the Tsukiji Sushi Making Class! A huge thank you to AJ and MASA for such an unforgettable experience. This isn't just another generic activity, it is a true local tour. They didn't just teach us how to sushi—they deeply explained the rich food culture of the Tsukiji Market and the authentic techniques behind sushi making. Crafting our own beautiful sushi bento box at the end was an absolute highlight! If you want to avoid the usual tourist traps and dive into the real culinary heart of Tokyo, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you so much again, AJ and MASA! You guys are the best!
