You arrive at a casual sushi restaurant in Fuji City, a town set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture. The restaurant offers a relaxed setting for experiencing everyday sushi culture, away from the formality of high-end omakase dining.

The session opens with your guide demonstrating core sushi-making techniques, walking through the fundamentals of handling rice and shaping sushi before you try them yourself. You shape nigiri by hand, assemble rolls, and work through each step at your own pace. Your guide leads the session in English, explaining each step and answering your questions so you can follow along comfortably.

By the end of the 90-minute session, you have a plate of sushi that you shaped and assembled yourself — nigiri formed by your own hands and rolls you put together from start to finish. You sit down and eat what you made, enjoying the results of the techniques you practised. This hands-on session introduces you to Japanese sushi-making traditions in a relaxed restaurant setting.
