Description

Learn how to make sushi in a casual setting in Nagoya. Follow along with a local chef as you shape nigiri and assemble rolls, then enjoy the sushi you made yourself.
Arrive at a casual sushi restaurant in Nagoya, a city in Aichi Prefecture that sits at the heart of Japan’s Chubu region. Unlike formal omakase settings, this venue operates as an approachable, everyday dining spot — the kind of place locals actually eat.

As you settle in, your guide introduces the session and the chef who will lead it, setting a relaxed tone before the hands-on work begins. The chef demonstrates each technique directly in front of you, showing you how to press and shape nigiri, handle the rice, and assemble rolls.

Follow along step by step, working with the same ingredients the chef uses. Your guide stays close throughout, interpreting the chef’s instructions and passing your questions back to them so nothing gets lost in translation. Move through each stage at a pace that lets you focus on getting the technique right.

By the end of the session, have a plate of sushi you shaped yourself — nigiri pressed with your own hands, rolls you assembled from start to finish. Sit down to eat what you made, finishing the 90-minute experience with a direct result of your own effort.
