A sushi-making class

鮨を握る教室すしをにぎるきょうしつ

Craft · Food · With children · Rainy day

Two hours with a chef: seasoning the rice, cutting the fish, the hand shape for nigiri, a roll, then eating what you made with miso soup. Classes run in English in Tsukiji, Asakusa and Ginza, some in a working restaurant before it opens, and they are the best answer to a child who will not eat fish.

How to arrange it: Book a week ahead; state allergies; morning classes use fish bought that day.
Price band: ¥¥
Allow: 120 min

Where to book it

Asakusa

Chagohan Tokyo Nigiri Sushi Class

チャゴハン東京握り寿司クラス

¥¥¥ · 150 min · English: yes

Housed in a traditional detached house in Kappabashi's kitchenware district, this school is run by a husband-and-wife team noted for genuinely fluent, natural English rather than scripted phrases. The nigiri sushi class covers rice seasoning and fish handling as a full shared-table meal, not a rushed demo.

Asakusa

Sushi Making Tokyo

スシメイキングトーキョー

¥¥¥ · 90 min · English: yes

A dedicated sushi studio steps from Asakusa Station rather than a hotel-arranged add-on, run with an English-speaking instructor for every session. Guests handle real fish and learn both nigiri and rolls in one sitting, with the facility large enough to also take corporate groups.

Tsukiji & Toyosu

Tsukiji Cooking

築地クッキング

¥¥¥ · 150 min · English: yes

An English-language cooking school based near the old Tsukiji outer market, run specifically for international visitors since 2013 and often combining a market walk with a hands-on sushi-making lesson taught by a Japanese chef. It is a dedicated teaching kitchen rather than a restaurant offering an add-on activity.
