Tuna & Wagyu Sushi Cooking Class in Yokohama

Cook premium tuna sushi and Wagyu steak in a Yokohama home, then eat what you made

A four-hour sushi and Japanese home cooking class in Yokohama, 30 minutes from Tokyo, where you prepare temari ball sushi with premium tuna and tofu hamburger steak with A5 Wagyu beef, paired with five types of sake and wine. The class runs in a home setting with a live English-speaking guide. Pickup from your Tokyo hotel or station is included, and you take home a recipe booklet to recreate the dishes.

The Experience

The tuna comes from a 150-year-old family business and the Wagyu is A5 grade: the ingredients alone set this class apart from what you'll find in most cooking schools. You'll spend four hours in a home kitchen in Yokohama learning to shape temari ball sushi in fifteen varieties, build a tofu hamburger steak with ground meat and regional countryside seasonings, and finish with mochi filled with seasonal fruit, sake affogato, and matcha latte. Everything is included: all ingredients, the sake and wine tasting, the desserts, and the instruction. You bring nothing but yourself.

The class runs as a home party rather than a formal lesson, which means you cook alongside your host, eat together as you finish each dish, and move at a pace that lets conversation happen. Your host is a licensed travel professional who offers travel tips and advice for the rest of your trip. The kitchen is wheelchair accessible, and families with small children are welcome. The host has personal experience making the space work for guests with mobility needs.

Pickup is included from your Tokyo hotel or a nearby station. The journey to Yokohama takes about 30 minutes by train. You'll leave with a detailed recipe booklet designed so you can remake these dishes at home, turning a single afternoon into a skill you keep using.
