The nearest station to our home is Hankyu Arashiyama Station on the Hankyu Railway's.We will be waiting for you in front of the station. [notice] Please be careful not to get the meeting station wrong. Our meeting station is [①Hankyu Arashiyama Station]. There are three train stations in the Arashiyama area with the name [Arashiyama Station]. ①Hankyu Arashiyama Station ②JR Saga-Arashiyama Station ③Randen Arashiyama Station
Upon arrival at the home, you will first be given a cup of green tea to relax and then a brief introduction to the cooking class.
We will explain how to cook sushi rice and then cook it in a pot. We will prepare the ingredients for the sushi rolls. Once the rice is cooked, we will mix it with sushi vinegar and make the sushi rice. We will make the sushi rolls using a rolling mat. We will leave it for a while to let the ingredients blend together before cutting.
Place the sushi rice in one hand and shape it into a cylindrical shape. With the other hand, hold the fish and the rice together and shape it into a ball.
Sushi rice is placed on nori seaweed, and then your favorite ingredients are added and rolled up by hand. It's fun to prepare lots of your favorite ingredients and eat them together at a party.
Let's try three types of sushi! Sushi tastes even better when you add soy sauce and wasabi. But be careful not to add too much wasabi. Please feel free to contact us about not only food but also recommended spots in Kyoto and souvenirs.
In our workshops, you will learn the traditional home-style cooking that Japanese people eat on a daily basis in the natural setting of Arashiyama, Kyoto. We use fresh local vegetables and provide recipes that are easy to reproduce. A husband with 25 years of experience as a chef and a wife who loves nature and vegetables will support you carefully and with an emphasis on eco-friendly and sustainable living.

★★★★★We had an amazing time getting detailed explanation on all the steps that go into making 3 amazing kinds of Sushi with Saturo & Akiko as very warm and welcoming hosts. Sadly we only had the lesson in the final days of our trip seeing as we would have loved to come back and to the Tempura & other lessons they offered. Cannot recommend this one enough!
