What to expect

A deep dive into the world of fine Japanese knives, a hands-on experience in Tokyo. Participants will learn how a Japanese knife is made, sharpen one, watch a cutting demonstration, and join a cooking class to make Sashimi Zuke-don or Sushi for lunch.

You will start with a detailed explanation of Japanese knife culture. Then, observe a demonstration of expert knife work and use a professional Japanese knife to cut your own Sashimi.

Next, you will create your own Zuke-don or Sushi using the very sashimi you sliced yourself, making the meal truly personal. Zuke-don is a rice bowl topped with marinated fish. Please note: Children aged 6-11 cannot use knives; parents or instructors will cut the fish for them.

For the Tuna Don Workshop, you will learn to sharpen a knife while the fish marinates. In the Sushi Workshop, the instructor demonstrates sharpening techniques while you eat; you are welcome to try it yourself after the meal.

At the end of the class, enjoy your handmade Tuna Don or Sushi with miso soup and our original sake.

＊＊Due to time constraints, the sushi workshop option will not include knife sharpening.

New: Kakigori (Shaved Ice) Add-on (ask us on the day!)
