  • 5Connect with locals by sharing culture!

    Ai is a wonderful English-speaking instructor and the rest of the staff was extremely polite and welcoming, too! This experience did not feel touristy, but an authentic delightful insight on Okinawan culture through the practice of sushi making.

  • 5This was a great...

    This was a great experience. The tour of the market was educational and engaging. The class was so much fun, learning about the techniques, traditions, and practices of sushi was worth it. I highly recommend.

  • 5Learn more about Okinawa through sushi making and market visit

    I had a fun time learning more about Okinawa through the market visit and sushi making. Hiromi showed me dried snakes that locals use to make soup to energise. Yamazaki sensei was very patient with me as I learnt to make sushi with fish, octopus and prawn. They also explained all the questions I have with details.

  • 5Excellent family experience

    I had an excellent time with my family and friend while learning how to make sushi. Ai and Hiromi were not only friendly but they were very knowledgeable. The cooking class was almost like a family gathering. It felt warm, welcoming and inviting. Highly recommend anyone who comes to Okinawa and is looking for an unforgettable experience.

  • 5Super user friendly class on sushi making. Fish market tour, drinks and a fun class!

    Really fun, user friendly experience. I came in a group of 3 and started with a nice tour of the fish market followed by a thorough class. They give you 10 pieces of fish so it was tricky at first but 10 pieces is plenty for great practice. The instructor Ai was fluent in English and the guide Hiromi is from Okinawa so very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this class! It felt very relaxed and rewarding at the same time
