What to Expect
You arrive at a casual sushi restaurant in Imabari, a port city in Ehime Prefecture on the Seto Inland Sea coast of Shikoku. The area has a long connection to seafood culture, and stepping into this local setting puts you in the middle of that tradition from the start. A guide meets you and introduces the session, helping bridge any language gap so you can engage fully with what follows.
The chef demonstrates nigiri technique directly in front of you, walking through each step before you try it yourself. You shape the rice, handle the fish, and form each piece under the chef’s guidance. The guide keeps the session moving and ensures instructions are clear, while you work through the process at a hands-on pace. If something is unclear, you ask — and the chef responds.
By the end of the session, you have shaped your own nigiri sushi pieces, assembled with the same techniques the chef uses daily. You sit down to eat what you have made, finishing the 90-minute experience with a direct result of your own work on the plate in front of you.
