Traveler reviews
The experience
You arrive at the studio near Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi and spend the next hour and a half learning sushi techniques hands-on. An English-speaking instructor walks you through rolling sushi step by step, then teaches you how to shape nigiri, the rice-and-fish pieces, with the right pressure and angle. The class is built for beginners. No one expects you to have held a knife before. You work at your own pace, and the instructor corrects your grip and technique as you go.
Once you've made your pieces, you sit down and eat them. The sushi you rolled is the meal, and you get to taste what you've learned to make. The class has won the "Best of the Best" award twice, and travelers from Europe, North America and Australia come back to it because the memory sticks. You made something with your hands in a new country and ate it the same afternoon.
The studio provides all ingredients (fresh salmon, tuna, shrimp and sea bream) and equipment. If you have dietary needs, the kitchen can prepare a gluten-free version with signature soy sauce, a fully plant-based menu with cucumber and vegetables, a halal-adapted seafood set, or a custom menu built around your allergies. Just let them know when you book.
