Sushi Making Class Experience with Professional Chefs in Tokyo

What is Sushi?

Sushi is one of Japan’s most iconic and beloved dishes, known for its elegant simplicity and emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients. At its core, sushi is vinegared rice (called sushi-meshi or shari) paired with a wide variety of toppings or fillings, including raw or cooked seafood, vegetables, and even tropical fruits. Common styles include nigiri (hand-pressed sushi), gunkan (boat-shaped sushi with soft toppings), and maki (rolled sushi).

Why is Sushi So Popular?

Sushi is more than just food—it’s a culinary art form. Its popularity stems from its delicate flavors, healthy ingredients, and the cultural experience it offers. With global appreciation for Japanese cuisine continuing to grow, sushi has become a staple in fine dining and home kitchens alike. Yet, few people get the chance to learn how it’s made from real sushi chefs—until now.
