Cooking Class Information

Step into a peaceful, private sushi studio in Ashiya, located 15–30 minutes from Osaka and Kobe.

This is not a group class or a casual activity.

You will learn directly from a professional chef with over 40 years of experience, gaining insight into how Japanese chefs think, work, and create.

The experience begins with sushi rice — the most important and often hidden foundation of great sushi.

From there, you will shape your own nigiri using carefully selected seasonal ingredients.

After the lesson, enjoy your sushi as a full meal while hearing stories from the chef’s journey, philosophy, and life in Japan.

This is more than a cooking class.

It’s a personal, cultural experience inside a real chef’s world.
