What to expect
You'll arrive, change into samurai costume, then take your place at the sushi counter. The chef demonstrates proper hand techniques for nigiri and rolling whilst you replicate each move. There's no standing idle—you're actively shaping rice and ingredients the whole time. Between your own work, watch the chef execute dashimaki tamago and other specialities. The setting is immersive without being cheesy: genuine historical props fill the room, and the energy stays focused on both craft and theatre. By the end you'll have made several pieces to taste and absorbed practical sushi knowledge.
