Perfect for cruise guests seeking a memorable shore excursion from Shimizu Port, this private sushi-making experience combines local culture, history, and hands-on fun in one easy tour. Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you will first enjoy a visit to the Sushi Museum, where exhibits recreate the atmosphere of Shimizu from around 100 years ago and provide a photogenic introduction to the region’s food culture.

After that, join a hands-on sushi-making workshop led by a professional sushi chef. Using locally sourced ingredients from Shizuoka, you will learn how to make sushi rolls and prepare your own nigiri in a relaxed and beginner-friendly setting. No prior experience is needed, and all tools and materials are provided.

Once your sushi is complete, enjoy tasting what you made, along with additional freshly prepared nigiri by the chef. For adult guests aged 20 and over, an optional local sake tasting is also available as a paid add-on. This is a private experience, so no other groups will join, allowing for a more personal and comfortable atmosphere. The meeting point is Shimizu Port, making it convenient for cruise travellers with limited time ashore.
