What to Expect
You arrive at a casual sushi restaurant in Aomori, a city in northern Japan known for its access to some of the country’s most prized seafood. As you settle in, your guide introduces the session and sets the context for what you are about to make. The relaxed, approachable setting means you can ask questions freely and engage with the experience at your own pace, without the formality of a high-end sushi counter.
The session begins as the resident sushi chef steps in to demonstrate nigiri technique directly in front of you. You watch closely, then pick up the rice and fish yourself, shaping each piece under the chef’s guidance. Your guide translates and relays instructions, helping you refine your grip, adjust your pressure, and work through each step as the chef moves between demonstration and hands-on correction.
By the end of the 90-minute session, you have assembled a set of nigiri pieces using your own technique, refined through direct feedback from a working sushi chef. You also have the opportunity to direct questions to the chef — about ingredients, regional fish, or the craft itself — before sitting down to eat what you have made. Any extra food or drinks beyond the included items can be ordered separately and paid on-site.
