Sushi Bento Making & Tsukiji Market Insider Tour with Tuna Tasting

About this experience

The Sushi Bento Making and Tsukiji Market Insider Tour is a walking tour in Tokyo combining a guided visit to Tsukiji Market with a hands-on sushi-making class. Tsukiji, once home to the world's largest wholesale fish market before its 2018 relocation, retains a dense network of specialist food shops, vendors, and working kitchens that most visitors never reach. The tour is led by a local insider with connections to the market's working community, giving access to behind-the-scenes shops not open to the general public. The walk covers hidden sections of the market, with stops to meet local vendors and observe the food culture that has shaped Tokyo's culinary reputation. Fresh tuna is purchased during the tour and carried through to a tasting session before the sushi class begins. Participants then make ten pieces of sushi and arrange them in a handcrafted wooden bento box made by Japanese artisans, building the box piece by piece before sitting down to eat the finished result. Tickets cover the guided market walk, tuna tasting, all ingredients, and the wooden bento box to take home.
