Arrive in Sakaiminato, a city shaped by its proximity to the Sea of Japan and a long tradition of seafood culture. Make your way to a casual local restaurant, the kind of everyday spot where sushi is prepared and enjoyed as part of local life.

Once inside, watch as a sushi chef demonstrates nigiri technique in front of you, showing how to portion, shape, and press each piece with practiced hands. Follow along, forming your own nigiri step by step.

A guide is present throughout to translate, relay your questions to the chef, and ensure you understand each stage of the process as it unfolds. By the end of the 90-minute session, shape a selection of nigiri pieces with your own hands, guided directly by a working sushi chef.

Sit down to eat what you have made, finishing the experience with a meal that reflects the effort and technique you put into it. Any additional drinks or food beyond the included items are available to order and paid for separately at the venue.
