About this tour
Learn to craft nigiri and hand rolls from a sushi master in a private three-hour session near Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe. You'll work one-on-one (or with your group alone) to select fish, master knife technique, and prepare over 20 pieces to eat straightaway. Choose a morning slot around 11:00 AM for lunch or evening around 5:00 PM for dinner, starting anytime between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. All equipment provided; Japanese tea and water included.

What to expect
You'll arrive at your chosen time and be given sanitary gloves, basic tools, and a rundown of nigiri anatomy. The master demonstrates grip, rice-to-fish ratio, and the gentle press that defines proper nigiri. You then work through practice pieces at your own rhythm—no rushing, no crowd noise. Once you've found your groove, you'll craft a final selection that becomes your meal. Expect to eat comfortably; most leave fuller than anticipated. The whole arc takes three hours, mixing instruction, hands-on practice, and eating.
Good to know
Bring nothing but yourself and appetite. Public transport reaches the venue easily. Children under ten attend free; one highchair is available, and staff will help carry strollers upstairs.
