Begin your experience by meeting your guide at a casual sushi restaurant in Kofu. Be welcomed by your guide and introduced to the session.

Watch as your guide demonstrates hand-shaping techniques, showing how to press and form rice, position fish, and assemble each piece. Then, replicate each step yourself, working through nigiri and rolls at your own pace.

Your guide leads the session in English and encourages you to ask questions, making the experience an interactive, hands-on activity.

By the end of the 90-minute class, shape a full plate of sushi with your own hands. Sit down and eat the pieces you made, finishing the session with a direct connection between the effort you put in and the food in front of you.
