“SO FUN! I hadn't tried too much sushi before this trip, but I loved learning about different types of sushi, its history in Japanese culture, and how to make it in this class. The sushi master was so sweet and helpful. He got a good chuckle out of our efforts to copy his work! Yugo, our guide/the sushi master's assistant, was awesome. He was so fun and brought great vibes. You also get a chance to explore the Tsukiji Outer Market since the session is right there! 10/10 experience”
