A unique experience in Tokyo to fully enjoy Japanese traditional culture all at once.

Former Japanese cuisine chefs will guide you step-by-step, ensuring even beginners feel comfortable. In a fun and relaxed setting, you'll learn how to make sushi rice, rolled sushi, omelets, and matcha.

You'll also receive recipes to recreate the dishes at home, making it ideal for impressing guests at your next gathering. This experience is perfect for families, providing a unique opportunity for parents and children to bond while discovering Japanese food culture together.

Our classroom is conveniently located in Zoshigaya, just a direct train ride from Shibuya on the Fukutoshin Line, passing by landmarks like Meiji Shrine and Shinjuku. The nearest station, Ikebukuro, is a hub for shopping with destinations such as Animate, Pokémon Center, and electronics stores. After your lesson, take a relaxing walk to the nearby Kishimo Shrine, a serene spot adorned with red torii gates
