Moisturize life - As a former sushi lover, I sometimes looked forward to going around sushi restaurants with my wife, but I had come to yearn for the idea of gathering my family and friends to serve sushi myself. I have been retired for two years and turned 68, but I have decided to knock on the door of Sushi School Kei to hydrate my life. It was a 6-day advanced Nigiri Sushi course, but it taught me a wide range of things, and it was a very meaningful lesson. There is still a lot to learn, but I can't wait to get closer to the craftsman little by little.

It was fun for the whole family! - The other day, my family of three joined a sushi making course! We had a really good time. I had only a certain amount of experience cooking hand-rolled sushi at home, but thanks to my teacher who taught me carefully, I was able to make it quickly and beautifully as I practiced. I was so happy for that moment! I was also glad to hear many interesting stories about how to make delicious shari and sushi, and to gain a little knowledge. In addition, all of the prepared ingredients were really fresh and delicious. I was especially impressed by the quality of the salmon and eel! I was also surprised by the aroma and texture of the seaweed, which I didn't usually pay much attention to. This sushi making course was not only fun, but also a great experience to learn the ropes of making delicious sushi. I want to come back and recommend it to my friends!

Wonderful Sushi Preparation Class! - We had a wonderful sushi making and eating experience in the home of Keitaro and Mika! They both expertly instructed us through the techniques for preparing sushi. Under their guidance we were able to prepare beautiful sushi presentations that were delicious! We had a delightful afternoon and will do it again next time!

AMAZING Sushi-making experience with fantastic hosts! - We had an AMAZING time with Mika and Keitaro! Our visit to their home took us a little off of the beaten path, and we were SO glad we included it in our itinerary. They had everything prepared for us when we arrived and were extremely gracious hosts. We love all kinds of sushi and I have to say; the ingredients Mika and Keitaro provided were absolutely some of the best we've ever had. Sushi making is an art, and Keitaro proved to us that he's a master. We ate our fill of fresh sashimi and sushi as quickly as we could make it. We also skipped lunch, so we probably ate more than a family of 4 has ever eaten! They were both so gracious, and very considerate of our daughter's preference for non-fish items. They even packaged up some homemade eel sauce for our son to take home because he's crazy for unagi. The Japanese name posters and a parting gift were absolutely lovely and we'll cherish them and our wonderful memory of this fantastic experience. We give our highest recommendation for this experience!

Transform to sushi master - One of the most excellent experience in traveling in Japan! It is good idea sightseeing Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. This sushi school is close to Kobe. I love to eat sushi usually but I didn’t think I could I can make ones by myself! The chef taught us not only how to make sushi, but also the history about sushi it self so easy to understand. After we made sushi, we ate the sushi plate and “Akanashi” red-bean miso soup. They were so yummy! I strongly recommend someone who wants to know how to make sushi to visit this sKhool! Why don’t you try there! 日本旅行で一番楽しいと言っても良い経験です！ 京都、大阪、神戸の観光も良いですが、ここの教室は神戸に近いです。 お寿司好きですが、まさか自分で作る事考えた事も無く。 シェフは寿司の歴史や握り方をとても分かりやすく教えてくれます。 お寿司を教えて頂いた後、本番で一通りお寿司プレートを握り、赤だしと共に頂きました。 とても美味しい〜！ 本当にこちらおすすめです！
