What to Expect
You arrive at a casual sushi or seafood restaurant listed on Tabelog, located in Narita — a city long connected to travel and cross-cultural exchange through its role as a major international gateway. The relaxed setting of the restaurant sets the tone for an approachable, hands-on session where the focus is on participation rather than formality. Your guide introduces the flow of the class and bridges communication between you and the chef.
The sushi chef demonstrates nigiri technique directly in front of you, breaking down each step of the shaping and pressing process. You then take over, working with the rice and toppings to form your own pieces under the chef’s guidance. As the session progresses, you refine your grip and motion with each attempt, and your guide relays any questions you have to the chef so nothing gets lost in translation.
By the end of the 90-minute session, you have shaped and assembled a set of nigiri with your own hands, guided by a working sushi chef. The pieces you make are yours to eat, giving the session a clear and satisfying conclusion. You leave with a practiced understanding of nigiri construction that goes beyond observation — built through direct, repeated handling of the ingredients and technique.
