Step into the world of Tokyo’s professional sushi scene through this rare, hands-on experience inside a working sushi bar in Ebisu, partnered with a licensed tuna broker from Toyosu Market — Japan’s most prestigious seafood auction site.
Begin your session with a brief introduction to Toyosu Market and the role of tuna brokers in Japan’s seafood trade. Then, roll up your sleeves and dive into sushi-making using premium-grade fish selected that morning. You’ll work with real sushi rice (shari), seasoned exactly as it’s served to local customers, giving your creations an authentic taste and texture.
In this class, you'll craft and enjoy SEVEN kinds of sushi that reflect a variety of styles and ingredients found at real sushi counters:
Ikura (Salmon Roe) – Rich and briny, served gunkan-style in a seaweed cup
Ebi (Shrimp) – Lightly boiled and naturally sweet, a classic favourite
Tamago (Sweet Egg Omelette) – A dashi-infused Japanese rolled egg
Kanpyo Maki (Dried Gourd Roll) – A traditional vegetarian roll with a sweet-savory taste
Maguro (Lean Tuna) – Deep red and clean in flavour, a sushi staple
Hamachi (Yellowtail) – Firm yet buttery, prized for its balanced richness
Salmon – Smooth, fatty, and globally beloved for its texture
Throughout the session, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance from experienced sushi professionals, giving you the confidence and technique to shape each piece like a pro. The class is kept small to ensure individual support and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — perfect for food lovers, first-time visitors, or anyone curious about Japan’s fish culture.
