Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class: Cheers with Sake & Make Matcha

Step into the vibrant district of Asakusa for an interactive sushi experience that blends Japanese culture, culinary skills, and festive celebration. Begin with Kagami-biraki, a traditional sake barrel opening to mark new beginnings, where participants chant “Yoisho!” and enjoy a group toast with sake, water, or warm Japanese tea. Learn the art of making nigiri with expert guidance, shaping rice with the perfect pressure, handling toppings delicately, and assembling sushi so it looks and tastes authentic. This hands-on session ensures beginners gain confidence while embracing the culture and traditions behind each piece of sushi.

The excitement continues with the crowd favorite WASSHOI! Torched Salmon Mayo Gunkan, where participants pile salmon high, drizzle mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern, and lightly torch for a smoky, creamy flavor. Capture photos during the fun moment of chanting “Wasshoi!” three times, creating memories that last. By the end of the session, you will have made six to twelve sushi pieces, enjoy a simple matcha finish, and take home not only delicious creations but also skills and photos to proudly share. This experience is beginner-friendly, engaging, and leaves every participant with a deeper appreciation for Japanese culinary artistry.
