In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.

Cooking Class Information

Tsukiji Market is one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo and the best place to get fresh ingredients. I guide you around Tsukiji Market to buy wasabi horseradish, tuna block, and sashimi（ thinly sliced raw fish） to make our sushi. After that, we will move to my house ( near Higashi-Ikebukuro Y10 station on the Yurakucho Line) by subway and make 3 kinds of sushi.

What you will do

1. Meet at the station near Tsukiji Market

The meeting point is Exit 1 of H11 (Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line) or Exit A1 of E18 (Tsukijishijo station on the Oedo Line) There are two subway stations near the market. You can choose your convenient station and write it in the comment space when you reserve my class. Our meeting point will be there.

2. Enjoy walking around Tsukiji market for one hour

I will buy wasabi horseradish, tuna block, and sashimi （thinly sliced raw fish） for making sushi. I've guided around the market countless times and know a lot of details about Tsukiji. If you want to eat other ingredients such as uni (sea urchin) and ikura (salmon raw), could you buy them by yourself?

3. Move to my house to make sushi

It takes about 40 minutes from the market to my house. On the subway train, I will explain about sushi and answer your questions about Japan. The train ticket (210 yen) is not included in this tour.

4. Prepare all the ingredients

You can learn how to make sushi rice and slice fish. We will prepare all ingredients such as nori-seaweed, and cucumber. Enjoy grating real wasabi horseradish and compare the difference between the real wasabi and the artificial one in a tube. Only in Tsukiji, we can easily find real wasabi. For vegetarians, you can use some vegetables or mushrooms.

5. Make three kinds of sushi (Maki, Nigiri, and Gunkan)

You can make three kinds of sushi with me. It's fun. I will also make miso soup for you.

6. Enjoy a sushi party

Take pictures with your own sushi. All of my guests say their own sushi is delicious.

7. You can get my recipe and a sushi-making kit as a small present from me and enjoy the view

I hope you will make sushi at home to surprise your friends. As a licensed tour guide, I will explain some popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo. My house's location is convenient, so you can visit many of them easily. Why don't you visit the Sunshine City shopping center just in front of my house? It's the best place for manga fans.
