Wonderful experience - We had a wonderful experience with Kana and her husband, who was filling in as her assistant. They were so kind, and Kana was excellent and patient in teaching us how to make sushi of a couple of types. It was a lot of food once we were done, we did not leave hungry! We would highly recommend this experience.

A very beautiful and enriching experience - We had a very pleasant time in a soothing setting. A true haven of peace that rests on the Kyotoite heat and turmoil. Kana and her team welcomed us with great kindness and delicacy. Kana is a great teacher and her English is excellent which facilitates learning. Not to be missed.

A must DA experience! - I had the pleasure of attending a sushi making course and was absolutely thrilled. From the first to the last minute, it was a fantastic and nothing short of perfect experience. The first thing that struck me was the kindness and sympathy of the instructors. They were welcoming, smiling and always available to answer any questions, creating a really relaxed and fun atmosphere. I've never felt judged, even when I was combining pies with rice! Their preparation was impeccable. They explained each step clearly and simply, providing valuable tips and tricks that made preparation much easier and more fulfilling. You can see that there is a great passion and expertise behind every gesture, and this made the whole experience extremely educational and engaging. I can't wait to put everything I've learned into practice at home. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn how to make sushi while having fun, in such a pleasant environment and run by exceptional people DA.

Fun for the family and a huge meal! - Great experience in a small group. We did this with grade-school children and we enjoyed it. They were able to accommodate our kosher-style dietary needs. We ate the sushi afterwards and it was a ton of food, too much to finish! You should arrive hungry! We also got a nice gift afterwards to help us make sushi at home. This was a worthwhile experience!

5 star Kyoto experience. - Wonderful, educational and delicious adventure in Kyoto. Our hosts were charming and really created a fun environment. Highly recommend. I brought 5 young adults and they really enjoyed, but this would be good for all ages. .

Authentic sushi making workshop in Kyoto - A family-owned business, Kana and Karem (sorry if incorrect ) welcomed us with smiles and over the next 1 1/2 hours, we learned sushi-making technique, Kana's own personal journey and fun facts about Japanese culture. What also made this workshop fun was meeting people for Paris and Florida. I highly recommend this experience and enjoying eating your hand crafted sushi!
