Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Akiko (our guide) and Miwako T (our teacher), were so lovely, knowledgeable and had great English skills. It was so much better experiencing the market with someone who could explain what things were and provide tasting opportunities. The sushi making was fun and easily repeatable at home. Definitely recommend this experience!CXSiow

This is a fantastic way to spend a morning in Tokyo. Lucy was a great guide through the markets and Miwako was an excellent teacher at the cooking school. Highly recommended for a family adventure. Our 15 year old twin boys had a great time.

We had a wonderful time with NOBU who showed us the whole fish market. After that we had a great time making sushi. It was a fun way to spend 3 hours in the afternoon in beautiful Tokyo. NOBU was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Thankyou to our guide Manami and ABC Cooking School teacher Kanori for a fabulous experience today. The fish markets are well worth it and Manami made the experience much more valuable as she could explain what all the incredibly unusual food was and also the significance of why it is eaten in Japanese culture. Also when certain foods are eaten such as New Year. The sushi making cooking class was a fun family experience. We learned how to make miso soup from scratch, omelette japanese style, sushi roll, and sushi balls before enjoying eating them all for lunch with some Shochu and Awamore tasting (like Sake). Highly recommend this tour both from a foodie, cultural and family experience.
