Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha

About this experience

The Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class is a hands-on culinary experience in the Asakusa district of Tokyo, combining a traditional sake barrel ceremony with nigiri preparation and a matcha whisking session. The class is located steps from Asakusa Station, placing it close to Senso-ji Temple, Kaminarimon Gate, and Tokyo Skytree, making it a practical addition to a broader day of Tokyo attractions. It holds an Excellence Badge backed by over 200 five-star reviews across TripAdvisor and Google, and is designed to suit families, couples, and first-time visitors with no prior cooking experience required. The session opens with Kagami-biraki, a ceremonial sake barrel opening accompanied by a group chant, with a non-alcoholic alternative available for those who prefer it. Guests then move on to nigiri, shaping rice, handling toppings, and placing fish under guided instruction, producing between six and ten finished pieces per person. The class closes with a matcha ceremony in which participants whisk their own bowl of tea. Guests with food allergies or a preference for no raw fish are encouraged to flag this in advance, and the organisers will accommodate where possible. Tickets cover the full session including the sake ceremony, sushi instruction, and matcha preparation, with all ingredients and equipment provided on the day.
