What is Kazarimaki sushi?

Kazarimaki is a type of decorative sushi roll made by combining colorful ingredients in artistic patterns. It often features seasonal or nature-inspired designs, such as flowers or traditional symbols, and is a popular form of food art in Japan.

Is the class conducted in English?

Yes, the class is conducted in both English and Japanese. Instructors are fluent in both languages.

Can children join the class?

Children under 12 years old are not permitted to participate. The class is designed to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for participants who can follow instructions and handle basic tools.

Please wear or bring socks, as it is customary to remove shoes inside the traditional house. If you arrive barefoot, tabi socks can be purchased on-site for a small fee.

Is a kimono included in the experience?

No, a kimono is not included by default. However, you can rent a simple two-piece kimono for an extra fee if you’d like to enhance your cultural experience.

What happens if I arrive late?

If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you will not be allowed to join the session, and no refunds will be issued. Please plan to arrive early to check in and get settled.

It was worth more than the experience time!

The other day, I experienced it with my wife! Decorative sushi was of course fun, but I had a very meaningful time learning a lot about Japanese culture! Next time, I would like to try the tea ceremony. Thank you for the wonderful time!
