An unforgettable sushi and cultural experience - I learned how to make many different styles of sushi and enjoyed eating what I made was truly special.
This class goes far beyond cooking, exploring sushi diversity and how food connects to Japanese history, climate, and daily life.
The surprise handmade wagashi and matcha were delicious, and the thoughtful gifts were the perfect finishing touch.
The host couple were artistic, warm, and inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Japanese culture.
様々な種類の寿司を、丁寧に直接教えていただける、とても特別な体験でした。
自分の手で握った寿司をその場で味わう時間は格別で、ただ「作る」だけでなく、寿司を通して日本の食文化や背景まで深く学ぶことができ、頭も心も満たされました。
特に印象的だったのは、一般的にイメージされがちな寿司だけでなく、地域や歴史、暮らしと結びついた“寿司の多様性”を体感できたことです。
食を通して文化を理解する、というこのクラスのコンセプトがとても素晴らしいと感じました。
また、サプライズでいただいたホスト奥様の手作り和菓子とお抹茶が本当に美味しく、さらに心のこもった手土産までいただき、期待をはるかに上回る大満足の体験でした。
ホストのご夫婦はとてもおしゃれで粋、そして美的センスに溢れていて、空間そのものも心地よかったです。
日本文化や食に興味のある方には、心からおすすめしたいクラスです。

I was invited by a friend to join, but it turned out to be very good - I'm not really interested in sushi or Japanese culture by nature.
"I've also felt a bit distanced from the type of experience that emphasizes ""Japan is amazing."""
I was invited to this class by a friend, but I was relieved that there was no atmosphere.
The history of sushi and fishing was introduced not to praise Japan but to explain how people have adapted to changing times and environments.
He mentioned labor and environmental issues, but he was calm and not imposing.
I don't usually eat much sushi, but this class helped me understand why sushi feels really good.

And the Dessert… Honestly Amazing - I joined this class with my family, and it turned into a really special time for us.
Even when we didn’t understand something, Rei and Chie patiently explained it again and again without ever making us feel rushed or uncomfortable. The class is small, and they carefully watch each person’s hand movements, which made it very reassuring for beginners.
We also learned a lot about how sushi has changed over time, and how it differs by region. Hearing these stories made the world of sushi feel much bigger and more interesting.
Both Rei and Chie are incredibly kind and easy to understand. Rei’s English communication was smooth and clear, which made the experience comfortable for everyone.
The dessert Chie prepared after the lesson was amazing — honestly like the final course of a restaurant meal.
The space was clean and beautifully decorated with kimono textiles. From start to finish, it was a very comfortable and thoughtful experience.

Perfect for Beginners! Clear Guidance Made Sushi So Much Fun - I knew almost nothing about sushi, but with their careful guidance I was able to make it well.
The explanations about fish handling and hygiene were clear and practical.
Making sushi was much more fun than I expected.
The renovated traditional house was beautiful and made the experience feel special.

Thank you for the wonderful workshop! - Thank you very much for your help at the workshop the other day!
Making sushi is a big difference between watching it and actually going there. At first glance, it may seem like a simple process, but I have learned that it is filled with many details and the wisdom of predecessors, from the preparation of ingredients to the formulation of ingredients, how to make it, and how to use tools. When I eat sushi, I have come to appreciate each one.
It was also a new discovery to learn about the origins and evolution of sushi and to realize the fun of exploring the roots of everyday things! The story is also very easy to understand with the illustrations on the slide, and he explains the charm of various sushi ^_^
Above all, the warm atmosphere and hospitality of the two of you who taught me was very pleasing. I also felt very calm.
Through this workshop, I rediscovered Japanese culture and history and learned about the fun of diverse cultures. I was able to interact with two people who were even more warm and had a very fulfilling time.
Thank you so much for the wonderful workshop! And we hope that your workshop will spread to many people! With all my heart.
