Sushi Making Class with a Local Oita Sushi Chef

Make Nigiri Sushi at a Local Sushi Restaurant

Instead of a cooking studio designed for tourists, you'll visit a sushi restaurant that is actually operating in Oita. Meet your sushi chef in a space where locals dine and begin your approximately 90-minute sushi-making experience. After closely observing the chef's demonstration, try making nigiri with your own hands. It's an opportunity to go beyond just tasting Japanese sushi culture and to experience it firsthand.


Learn Basic Techniques from a Sushi Chef

You'll learn step-by-step, from how to shape the sushi rice to handling the fish and perfectly combining them to create a piece of nigiri.

A guide will accompany you during the experience, translating the chef's explanations into English. You can also ask the chef questions directly, allowing you to learn more about the ingredients and techniques of sushi.


Savor the Sushi You Made

Using the methods you've learned, create your own nigiri sushi. Even if it feels unfamiliar at first, there's fun in making each piece following the chef's guidance.

At the end of the class, you'll conclude the session by tasting the sushi you've made. It's a special Oita culinary experience, enjoying and interacting with a professional Japanese sushi chef.
