Sushi & Bento Making Class by SMILING TOKYO

Premium Sushi Workshop Brings Tsukiji’s Culinary Heritage to Life

In the heart of Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji Outer Market, a hands-on sushi workshop offers participants the opportunity to master the art of traditional Japanese sushi-making. Hosted by a historic Tsukiji establishment with more than a century of heritage, the experience combines culinary craftsmanship with the rich traditions of one of Japan’s most celebrated food districts.

During the one-hour session, participants prepare ten premium sushi pieces using market-fresh ingredients trusted by professional chefs. Guided by experienced instructors, guests learn to create a variety of sushi, including tuna, salmon, vegetable sushi, traditional inari sushi, and a classic tuna roll while gaining insight into authentic preparation techniques.

The workshop also introduces participants to professional Japanese culinary tools, including authentic sushi knives and rare fresh wasabi, providing a genuine glimpse into the precision and artistry behind Japan’s renowned cuisine. Every step emphasizes quality ingredients, traditional methods, and attention to detail.

To complete the experience, each handmade sushi selection is carefully arranged inside a handcrafted wooden bento box created by Japanese artisans. The result is not only a beautifully presented meal to enjoy but also a memorable cultural experience that celebrates the craftsmanship, history, and flavors of Tsukiji.
