Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class: Whisk Matcha & Unlimited Sake
About this experience
5.0★ rated by 1000+ guests worldwide. Tripadvisor Excellence Badge certified. Step into Asakusa for a lively, hands-on sushi experience blending culture, skill, and celebration — perfect for families, couples, and friends of all ages. Start with Kagami-biraki: chant "Yoisho!", open a sake barrel, and toast to new beginnings (non-alcohol option available). Then learn nigiri essentials — shape rice, handle toppings, and place fish like a pro. No experience needed — kids love it, and first-timers always feel right at home. Create 6–10 pieces, finish with a matcha ceremony, and leave with skills and photos the whole family will treasure. Have a food allergy or prefer no raw fish? Just let us know in advance — we'll do our best to accommodate every guest so everyone can enjoy the full experience together. Steps from Asakusa Station — Senso-ji, Kaminarimon, Tokyo Skytree, and Ryogoku Sumo Hall all nearby.
