About this activity
Meet your guide at 5pm at a predetermined location, just a 5-minute walk from the south end of the Old Imperial Palace. Your 1.5-hour sushi-making class takes place in a machiya, a traditional Kyoto-style wooden townhouse.

Here, your professional local instructor will teach you to make makizushi by rolling special rice and various ingredients onto a sheet of nori (dried seaweed). Maki means ‘rolling’ in Japanese, and there are many different types of fillings, such as sashimi (thinly sliced raw fish) or cucumber, used to create the tasty dish. Although a sushi roll may look difficult to assemble at first, you'll learn how to make the finger food in an easy, step-by-step process. Your English-speaking guide will be on hand to translate the instructions.

After your lesson, sit down with your fellow sushi lovers to enjoy your own nori-wrapped creations for dinner. Side dishes such as miso soup (made of soy bean paste) or sumashi (clear soup), as well as a side salad and seasonal fruit, will be served with your makizushi.

Your tour concludes here, and your guide will direct you back to your preferred location.

The setting was lovely, the tutors, Meiko and Yoko, were clear and kind and the teaching was direct enough to learn from but hands on enough to feel as though we were having a real go at it. The eating part afterwards was very elegant and pleasant. The tutors were thoughtful enough to have small stools to sit on as westerners are so after uncomfortable at the very low tables. A recipe book was provided for us to use in the future.

This sushi making class was the first thing my wife and I did while in Kyoto and definitely was one of the highlights of our trip. The building was easy enough to get to. A short subway ride from the main Kyoto station and then a few block walk through some back streets. Our host Yumiko Ueda was wonderful. She was very easy to talk to and knowledgeable regarding Japanese cuisine and I tend to ask a lot of questions. We really enjoyed learning about exactly what we were making. The picture in this booking matched our meal to a tee. We also received a Japanese home cooking pamphlet so we could try other Japanese recipes on our own when we got home. We truly loved our cooking experience with Yumiko Ueda and would highly recommend this tour.

Nice location, small group, very iteressting and learned a lot, good instructor. Maybe a little bit too much of watching how to do things, instead of actually doing on your own.
