A calm, easy-to-understand and naturally welcoming experience - I felt that Mr. Mine looked at each participant’s experience very carefully. From this attitude, I could feel the thoughtful and contemporary Japanese hospitality. "In plant-based classes, the idea of ""diversity in sushi"" was effortlessly and naturally demonstrated." It was also easy to understand the sustainability story because it was based on everyday life, not ideas and claims. The food was so delicious that even I, who don't usually eat sushi, could enjoy it throughout the class. I think the content can be recommended with peace of mind even for people who feel wary of the term "Japanese tradition". Every aspect of how we use words and choose tools showed the open and rational mindset of the two hosts. It was a warm and memorable experience.

Flavorful, Creative Vegan Sushi - This class was much more satisfying than I expected. The way vegetables were used was very creative — I was surprised by how rich and complete the meal felt even without fish. I also liked that the menu changes with the seasons. Each step was clearly explained, including why we do it that way, which made everything easy to follow. Chie’s handmade Japanese sweets at the end were outstanding — honestly, I wanted to come back just for that dessert. You can feel the aesthetic sense of both hosts everywhere. The overall quality was very high.

Made me want to try it at home - This vegetable sushi class was an ideal experience for me. I was surprised by how much depth of flavor could be created using only plant-based ingredients, and it made me want to try making it at home. The stories about sushi history and regional styles were fascinating. Being able to enjoy food, art, and culture together felt unique to this class.

Make amazing vegetable sushi - In this class, not only do you get to experience a former sushi chef teaching you to make a variety of rarer types of sushi like gunkan and Shikoku-style vegetable sushi, but also more well-known types such as inari zushi and kappa maki. I loved the inari zushi, kappa maki, corn and vegan mayonnaise gunkan sushi and red bell pepper sushi. A variety of sauces are provided- the soy sauce with koji was amazing. You also get to learn about different kinds of knives as well as the history of sushi, including types that people ate out of necessity in the past. It's held inside an airy cooking studio inside the hosts' home, with traditional cooking implements where possible. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Best ever Sushi experience!✨ - A very engaging and interesting sushi course.👏 Not only did we learn how to make sushi with traditional tools, but we also learned about the history of Sushi and how it has changed over the centuries and developed in different regions. Sushi is truly diverse, and the course did a good job at highlighting that. And of course, the sushi we made was delicious, probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. Rei and Chie are genuinely open minded, kind and warm people. It was a joy being instructed by them. It was a safe space to learn and be curious in. We loved their focus on mutual understanding and communication through sushi making. They have a very interesting perspective on how food culture has adapted to changing circumstances, such as technological developments and modern people’s needs. They also gave us tips for making sushi in our home country, such as what ingredients and tools we can use to adapt the sushi to our local conditions. Highly recommend this sushi making experience! 😊
