Through this activity, we hope to share our expertise and passion for sushi, a part of Japanese food culture, with as many people as possible, and invite many people to join us on this adventure into the world of sushi and experience the profound flavors of Japanese cuisine.

The program we have prepared this time is not just a cooking experience. It starts with an immersive experience using the latest VR technology. You will feel as if you are in the Pacific Ocean fishing grounds, with the vast ocean spreading out before you, and if you listen carefully, you will be able to hear the sound of the waves and sometimes the engines of fishing boats. It is difficult to actually go fishing, but you can easily experience the same sense of realism through VR.

Freshly caught seafood is an important element in bringing out the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine. Through the VR experience, you will be able to see some of it. We also want to share the knowledge and experience we have gained through our daily practice in identifying the freshest ingredients.

Once you have prepared all the ingredients, you will move to the sushi counter and the cooking session will begin. Under the careful guidance of your guide, you will learn various Japanese sushi techniques, from traditional to practical, from how to use a Japanese knife, to how to prepare wasabi and other ingredients essential to sushi culture, to how to hold the rice.

In addition to sushi, you will also be able to try the delicious rolled omelet, which is very familiar in Japan. Enjoy the world of Japanese sushi to the fullest through this immersive sushi-making experience. Depending on the availability of ingredients on the day, we will have about six types of carefully selected ingredients, so why not take your first step towards becoming a sushi chef? You will surely be able to experience Japanese flavors and sushi culture more deeply than ever before.

This program is suitable for everyone, from children to beginners. We hope that you will continue to use your Japanese cooking skills and enjoy wonderful meals at the table after you return home. We look forward to sharing the joy of cooking with you all.

Our kitchen studio is located in Nakameguro, close to Shibuya. After your cooking experience and enriching activities, you can explore Tokyo's famous tourist spots such as Shibuya, Harajuku, Omotesando, Meiji Jingu, and enjoy sightseeing and shopping.

Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your cooking skills, you are welcome. In our classes, we will teach you the basics, such as how to hold a knife correctly, so don't worry. Come join us on a culinary adventure and experience the joys of sushi culture!
