Arrive at a casual sushi or seafood restaurant in Kamakura, a city in Kanagawa Prefecture known for its long coastline and deep-rooted food culture. The restaurant is listed on Tabelog, Japan’s widely used dining platform, and the relaxed setting reflects the approachable spirit of the experience.
As you settle in, your guide introduces the session and explains what you are about to make. Your guide demonstrates each technique step by step — how to handle sushi rice, how to press and shape nigiri, and how to roll maki.
Follow along step by step, shaping the rice and assembling each piece with guidance from your guide. Your guide explains the instructions and answers your questions, keeping the session interactive and easy to follow.
By the end of the 90-minute session, you will have shaped nigiri and rolls with your own hands. Sit down to eat the sushi you made, enjoying the results of the techniques you practiced. The session closes with time for any remaining questions, leaving you with a clear, practical understanding of how sushi is prepared from start to finish.
