Kyoto, Japan

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This experience goes far beyond a typical sushi class. What makes it truly unique is the combination of a live 20kg whole tuna cutting, a hands-on sushi-making lesson, and all-you-can-eat sushi—all in one immersive experience.

Watching a giant tuna being cut in front of you is a rare sight, even in Japan, and it gives you a deeper understanding of sushi culture before you start making your own. The tuna you use is cut fresh on the spot, ensuring exceptional quality and freshness that most cooking classes simply cannot offer.

Unlike standard sushi workshops where portions are limited, this experience allows you to make and eat unlimited sushi, so you can fully enjoy what you create without feeling rushed or restricted.

The class is interactive, fun, and beginner-friendly, making it perfect for first-time sushi makers, families, and groups.

This is not just a meal or a class—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime sushi experience in Kyoto.

What to expect

Step into a truly unforgettable sushi experience in Kyoto, where you’ll witness the cutting of a 20kg whole tuna right in front of you by an experienced chef.

The experience begins with a live tuna cutting demonstration, where you’ll learn about the different parts of the tuna and how each cut is used in sushi. Feel the excitement as the massive tuna is expertly broken down before your eyes — a rare opportunity even in Japan.

After the tuna cutting, you’ll move on to a hands-on sushi-making class. Guided by your instructor, you’ll learn how to prepare sushi rice, shape nigiri, and create your own sushi using fresh tuna cut moments earlier, along with other seasonal ingredients.

Once you’ve learned the basics, it’s time to enjoy the best part: unlimited sushi. Make and eat as much sushi as you like, at your own pace, while asking questions and interacting with the chef throughout the experience.

This immersive activity combines education, culture, and incredible food, making it perfect for sushi lovers, first-time visitors to Japan, and anyone looking for a fun, interactive culinary experience in Kyoto.
