SUSHI MAKING CLASS in TOKYO 咲 -EMI
Meeting point
Look for the building with a red sign that says "A". Please enter and go to the second floor.
Description
This workshop is one of the few sushi-making experiences where guests start by filleting the fish. Join a private class led by a sushi master with experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Watch live demonstrations of professional knife work and nigiri preparation, and learn how cutting technique, ingredient balance, and seasonality transform each piece of sushi.
All steps will be guided by fully bilingual staff under private settings so that you can fully immerse yourself in the craft of sushi making. This is more than a cooking class—it's an invitation to carry forward a mindset where attention to ingredients connects to larger questions of sustainability and respect for what we consume.

Wrong course and false promises
We booked the Premium Package, learned on arrival that the organizers only prepared Basic for the appointment and promised to give us a refund of 10,000 yen per person (there were 5 of us).
After more than 3 weeks we still haven't seen a refund on our credit card, even a message to the organizer went without feedback. Please be careful what you book.
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht und es tut uns aufrichtig leid, dass wir Ihnen Unannehmlichkeiten bereitet haben. Wie bereits vor Ort erklärt, war für Ihren Termin versehentlich nur das Basic-Paket vorbereitet worden, obwohl Sie das Premium-Paket gebucht hatten. Dafür möchten wir uns nochmals ausdrücklich entschuldigen. Die Rückerstattung von 10.000 Yen pro Person muss über das Buchungssystem von Viator bearbeitet werden, weshalb die Bearbeitung leider etwas Zeit in Anspruch nimmt. Wir haben den Vorgang bereits eingeleitet und arbeiten aktuell daran, die Rückerstattung schnellstmöglich abzuschließen. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass die Bearbeitung länger dauert als erwartet und dass wir zudem nicht schneller auf Ihre Nachricht reagieren konnten.

Fantastic premium fish fillet experience
Took the premium fish fillet course and had a fantastic experience! We were looking to pick up a new skill and be able to make our own sushi and this class absolutely delivered.
They kindly walked us through each step of the process and the fish at the end was delicious! They were knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had

Impressive Sushi Skills Demonstration
I loved watching the instructor’s demonstration at the beginning — the smoothness of the movements, the precision of the cuts, the elegance of shaping the rice. It was like a performance. Seeing such skill up close was inspiring.

Amazing Cultural Sushi Experience
This class exceeded all my expectations. The instructor not only taught us the techniques but also shared fascinating stories about the origins of sushi and the traditions behind each style. Learning the cultural background made the hands-on part even more meaningful. I left with a completely new appreciation for Japanese cuisine.
Operator response
Thank you for this lovely feedback! Combining culture with technique is what we're all about. Sae travels, and we'd love to see you again!

Well-Structured and Easy to Follow
I was impressed by how well-structured the class was. We started with the basics — rice preparation and knife handling — and gradually moved on to shaping different types of sushi. The instructor’s attention to detail was incredible. I learned small techniques that make a huge difference, things you never pick up from online tutorials.
Operator response
Thank you for this lovely feedback! Those small details really do make all the difference. We're happy you enjoyed the class and hope to welcome you back soon!
