Do I need any sushi-making experience?

No. The class portion is fully guided, with an English-speaking instructor demonstrating each step, so complete beginners shape all 10 pieces successfully.

Is this experience good for families?

Yes. The format is family friendly, children aged 3 to 9 receive 20 percent off, and the hands-on class is a favorite with kids.

How do I find the meeting point?

Meet in front of the Sushizanmai Bekkan (Annex) sushi restaurant, where your guide waits on the right side of the building. There are several Sushizanmai branches in Tsukiji, so be sure you are at the Bekkan. The tour is not affiliated with the restaurant, so please do not ask its staff for directions.

Is the sushi class in the same place as the market tour?

Yes. The classroom is inside the Tsukiji Outer Market itself, so you move straight from the market walk to the class and can keep exploring the stalls afterward.

How big is the group?

The market walk runs with a maximum of 8 guests for a personal experience, followed by the sushi making class in a relaxed group setting.
