Tokyo Culinary, Sushi Class

Tokyo Culinary & Cultural Escape for 1 Adult

Immerse yourself in Tokyo’s vibrant food scene and rich traditions on this solo journey. Your experience includes a hands-on culinary activity:

• Ticket: "Sushi Making Tokyo Roll and Authentic Japanese Sushi Class"
• Location: Tokyo, Japan
• Theme: Cultural immersion & Culinary travel

During this class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of authentic Japanese sushi from local experts: selecting the right rice, preparing classic fillings, shaping perfect rolls, and understanding sushi etiquette. Beyond the kitchen, take time to explore Tokyo’s cultural neighborhoods, visit traditional markets, and enjoy small, local restaurants and izakayas to deepen your culinary and cultural experience.

As your travel agent, I also recommend a few guides and books to enrich your trip:

• Guidebooks:
• – Lonely Planet Tokyo: Excellent for practical information, neighborhood walks, and food recommendations.
• – Fodor’s Essential Japan: Helpful overview of Japanese culture, customs, and key sights beyond Tokyo.
• – Tokyo City Guide (DK Eyewitness): Great visual guide with maps, photos, and short cultural notes.
• Culinary & Culture Reading:
• – Sushi: Taste and Technique by Kimiko Barber & Hiroki Takemura: Clear explanations of sushi preparation, tools, and traditions.
• – Rice, Noodle, Fish: Deep Travels Through Japan’s Food Culture by Matt Goulding: Insightful stories on Japanese regional cuisine and food culture.
• – Tokyo: A Biography by Stephen Mansfield: A concise history of Tokyo that will give context to the places you visit.
• Etiquette & Cultural Insight:
• – A Geek in Japan by Héctor García: Accessible introduction to modern and traditional Japanese culture.
• – Etiquette Guide to Japan by Boye Lafayette De Mente: Useful tips on manners, temple visits, and dining etiquette.

Reading a mix of one practical guidebook, one food-focused book, and one cultural or etiquette guide before your trip will help you feel more confident, enjoy your sushi class more deeply, and make the most of your time in Tokyo.
