Sushi (寿司, 鮨) is a Japanese dish of specially prepared vinegared rice (鮨飯 sushi-meshi), usually with some sugar and salt, combined with a variety of ingredients (ネタ neta), such as seafood (most commonly and often raw), vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits. Styles of sushi and its presentation vary widely, but the key ingredient is "sushi rice", also referred to as shari (しゃり), or sumeshi (酢飯).
Inarizushi is stuffed in seasoned Aburaage tofu pouch. Inarizushi is technically sushi, but it is not something you order at nice sushi restaurants. It is easily found at supermarket delis, but, as you know, home made is the best. Inarisushi is a very casual food and a perfect lunch for picnics because it’s best eaten right from your hands.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Make 10 pieces of sushi with fresh, high-quality ingredients from Tsukiji Market and arrange them in your own handcrafted wooden bento box. Create a beautiful—and surprisingly delicious—sushi bento in just 1 hour, right in the heart of Tsukiji Market.
You'll make sushi with top-quality fresh tuna, salmon, vegetables, traditional inari sushi, and a tuna sushi roll. The quality of the ingredients is one of the things that makes this experience special: they are supplied with the support of trusted specialty shops in Tsukiji Market, including suppliers valued by professional chefs.
You'll also use authentic Japanese knives and sushi tools and experience real fresh wasabi. Grate the wasabi yourself, discover its fresh aroma and delicate heat, and enjoy it with the sushi you've made.
What makes all of this possible is a connection to Tsukiji Market built over more than 100 years. The family behind the experience has long-standing relationships with specialty shops, long-established businesses, and food professionals in the market, giving you the chance to experience the ingredients, tools, and craftsmanship that represent the quality of Tsukiji Market.
As you make each piece, your empty wooden bento box gradually transforms into your own beautiful sushi bento. Arrange and decorate your sushi, then enjoy the moment when you can look at the finished box and say, “I made this myself.”
Once your sushi bento is complete, it's time for photos. Capture your beautiful creation while our staff takes candid photos of you making sushi and enjoying the experience with your family or friends.
Then say itadakimasu and enjoy the sushi you've made yourself. Many first-time sushi makers are surprised by just how delicious their own sushi tastes. Along the way, you'll naturally discover a little Japanese food culture, from itadakimasu and gochisousama to how sushi and soy sauce are traditionally enjoyed.
The class is authentic, but never intimidating. Friendly and knowledgeable English-speaking instructors use simple explanations, demonstrations, and gestures to make everything easy to follow.
Around half of our guests are families, and about half are non-native English speakers. No cooking experience is needed, and even young children can enjoy making their own sushi bento.
