Sendai Sushi Making Class - Nigiri & Rolls

Learn nigiri and sushi rolls
at a sushi restaurant in Sendai

The class takes place at a casual sushi and seafood restaurant in Sendai, the gateway to Miyagi Prefecture. Miyagi is a coastal region long recognized across Japan for the quality of its seafood. The class is held inside a restaurant that is open for business in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and an English-speaking guide introduces the session and helps you follow along until the end.

Watch the demonstration and make sushi at your own seat

The guide demonstrates nigiri techniques and how to shape rolls up close, and you follow each step at your own seat. Using the same ingredients the restaurant uses daily, you handle the rice, place the fish and press each piece into shape. The guide explains every step in English and answers questions right away.

Taste your sushi and ask your questions

As the class goes on, various kinds of sushi shaped by your own hands are completed one by one. At the end of the 90-minute class you can taste your sushi and ask the guide about sushi techniques, ingredients or the local seafood culture. Tea or water is served, and you can also try a sake tasting if you wish.
