We had an absolute blast at this sushi and matcha-making class! It was even better than we expected. Sakura was an amazing instructor who made the entire experience fun, engaging, and memorable. She made everything so easy to follow, and before we knew it, we were rolling our own sushi and enjoying every delicious bite! We also got to enjoy plenty of sake and learn how to prepare traditional Japanese matcha tea. The whole experience was such a perfect blend of food, culture, laughter, and hands-on learning. I honestly couldn’t believe how quickly an hour and a half flew by. I could have stayed there all day learning to make more Japanese dishes, trying different drinks, and just enjoying the experience. If I had the opportunity, I’d go back in a heartbeat! A huge thank-you to Sakura for making it such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Japan!

Great experience, our sushi instructor was very fun and a great sushi teacher! She guided through the history of sushi and step-by- step instructions to make it. We met other couples and had a great time. Definitely worth it!
Hiro & Sora were amazing! We had such a great time! I've made maki in the past but learned I was doing it all wrong. Learned real chef tricks and drank a lot of sake. Got to share the experience with other travelers which was loads of fun! Great way to have dinner and drinks before continuing your night!
Easy to find well signposted outside. tutor made learning how to make sushi fun along with slides on a screen to help understand the history and process. Explained rolling very well and went around to everyone individually to give help and tips to make it easier. Sake barrel opening was fun, and the matcha tea ceremony was enlightening. overall a fun learning experience, which we came away with skills that we have since practiced at home with good results
Loved this, such a fun experience that allowed me to learn so much about the craft of sushi. Food, sake and matcha were delicious as well.
So lucky to have stumbled upon this class/experience… we loved it from start to finish! The warm and friendly welcome from Hiro, Kiru and Sakura, their very informative and yummy sushi making lesson, the yummy sake with the enthusiastic kanpai!, and the matcha making lesson, such a treat! Highly recommend this class!
A great day with learning, fun and great people. Clear recommendation for some great hours in Tokyo.
Such a good and fun experience!!! Hiro and Hono where so sweet and very helpfull during the whole class. My family and I loved it. Would definitely recommend!
Fun experience. Cool opportunity to try to make your own sushi while learning about its history.
The whole experience was perfect. Starting with a short and nice presentation, the explanation during the class itself, the atmosphere and ending with a delicious sushi! All accompanied with a great smile and welcoming vibes. Highly recommended
A great experience and now we are sushi making experts. Very clear step by step instructions and a light atmosphere. Best part was eating the sushi.
It was a fun way to learn about Japanese food culture. Making the sushi and matcha was enjoyable and educational. It was a lot of sushi to eat which filled our dinner requirement.
Hono and Riku were awesome! The food was delicious and fresh. Both instructors were informative and friendly. I highly recommend taking a class here!!
This was a fun experience! Whole staff was enjoyable and patient with the 5 kids we did the activity with. Kids had fun and so did the parents. Highly recommend
Wonderful experience, we had a lot of fun and really enjoyed it. Sora and the rest were amazing
Staff were so friendly, they explained each processes properly, having sushi and matcha that I prepared at the end was awesome:)
This class was amazing. I would one hundred percent recommend. The staff is knowledgeable but also made the class very fun and enjoyable.
I had an amazing experience at Sushi Matcha in Asakusa! The class was fun, interactive, and very well organized. The instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and explained every step clearly, making it easy to follow even as a complete beginner. Making sushi from scratch was a fantastic experience, and the final result was delicious. I also really appreciated learning more about Japanese food culture throughout the class. A special thank you to Sora, and the whole team for making everyone feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Their passion and hospitality made this one of the highlights of my trip to Tokyo. I highly recommend Sushi Matcha to anyone visiting Tokyo, whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a family. It’s a unique, authentic, and unforgettable experience. Thank you so much!
It was a great experience; nice location and good food.
A solid sushi making class! This is not a massive tourist experience and you really get personalized hands on teaching. The teachers were patient and really helped you understand why certain processes must occur when making sushi. I highly recommend the experience.
We are so glad we had this experience as a family. The host and chef were welcoming, conversational, and helpful. A+!

Fantastic family friendly experience. Great opportunity. Sora was friendly and personable. He made our experience fun and memorable. We enjoyed the Sake, Matcha and Sushi. It was all great.
Fun time. Well worth it. Great hospitality from making sushi, matcha and photo ops. We d do it again.
A very enjoyable experience and one I’d recommend when in Tokyo. The staff there were amazing, you’ll have a great time.
Ken and Sora were fabulous hosts. Such a fun time, lovely welcome, a nice small group so super interaction with great explanations and the sushi we made tasted really fresh having just been made by us! The matcha was so much better than I’d had just before at a cafe, really enjoyed the sake too! All in all, highly recommend 5🌟
The class was a lot of fun and a great activity to do in Asakusa. The chef and guide were both great at explaining the background behind the class and instructions on making the sushi and matcha. It’s a nice small group too. Well worth it and would definitely recommend.
The staff is nice and will help you make the sushi and matcha. Even though they taste mid, it’s worth the experience
The chefs were amazing and so warm and welcoming.they helped us every step and made sure we were very involved. The sushi and matcha were amazing do fresh.
Amazing class! Everyone was so nice and friendly, and the chef was clearly very high-skilled. It felt like learning at the foot of a true master of sushi 👨🍳🍣 The translator also did an incredible job making sure we understood the nuance of everything the chef was saying, and streamlined communication easily for everyone. There were six of us, and each participant got to have one-to-one attention and feedback. I seriously can't wait to dazzle my family and friends with my newly-acquired sushi skills. Also worth noting: the fish was SO fresh!!! And the rice was unlike anything I have ever tasted. The sake was also so yummy and fruity! We were working with top-quality ingredients and you could really feel that. The matcha tea-making part of the course was such a nice finisher, easy and delicious. I really don't have a single complaint or "wish we also did X or Y," it was just a perfect experience. 11/10.
had an amazing sushi-making experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. The staff were incredibly lovely, welcoming, and patient throughout the entire class, making everyone feel comfortable and included. It was so much fun learning how to prepare different types of sushi step by step, and the instructors explained everything clearly while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and it was so satisfying getting to eat the sushi we made ourselves at the end. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that combined great food, friendly people, and lots of laughter. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip!
Lovely experience making sushi and matcha with a team that is deeply passionate about the subject. I appreciate all the details I learnt today
We had a great time at this cookery course - learnt a bit, had fun making sushi, drinking sake and then making Matcha. Ken is obviously an experienced sushi chef and with the translator who works with him, communication was easy. We didn't need dinner after eating all the sushi so it's great value. They also gave us some food recommendations after we left.
Great hands on experience that we will be able to reproduce ar home. The instructors answered everyone's questions and were very helpful
The instructors were amazing, fun, and very accommodating. It was a great cultural experience. If you have a family this is a must do. The length of the class is just right. The sushi, sake , matcha and mochi were perfect. We did a 4:00 booking and it was a great dinner. We became sushi masters in 1.5 hrs. I give this a 5 star.
Such a fun hands-on time learning the Sake tradition, making the rice to roll maki and sushi pieces with delicious fresh fish! The Macha ceremony was enlightening and the whole experience with Ken and Mary was FABULOUS! ありがとう
Ken and our host were amazing. They also taught me so much in a short period. Such a great experience. The sushi we made was so tasty.
I had an incredible time at this sushi-making class! Our instructor, Sensei Ken, was fantastic—he was extremely patient and made sure everyone in the group was taken care of, regardless of their skill level. He took the time to guide us through each step, ensuring our rolls actually looked as good as they tasted. Mary was a great assistant as well. She was so kind and very friendly, making the whole environment feel welcoming and fun. It was a truly memorable experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on activity. As a wonderful bonus, we also got to do some matcha making, which was the perfect way to round out the session.
Fun class to learn how to make sushi. The team gave clear instructions that were easy to follow. Our 10 yo was so proud of the sushi he made. They were all very attentive and ensured we understood each step. Thanks for a great class.
Very fun, good food, good explanation and very enjoyable!
Wow. Just wow. This was one of the Best experiences we had in Japan. They were so professional, helpful and kind.
Both the host and chef were great! We had a wonderful time making sushi and matcha. Highly recommend.
Beautiful experience in Tokyo, a great way to end the trip, Chef Ken and his assistant Matchi were so welcoming, their studio is 200 meters away from Old Tokyo and temple, the class was amazing we learnt how to make Sushi and Marcha and we learnt about the history behind sushi making and great Sushi facts! We made our own Sushi (10 pieces) and ate it with Saka then made Macha and drank it, we had great time my 14 year old daughter enjoyed it so much as well and my husband who didn’t want to take the class was welcomed to sit and watch and take photos and they were kind enough to offer him drinks, if I’m ever back to Tokyo I’m visiting chef Kim and Matchi indeed. I recommend this experience to everyone, great authentic Chef, typical Japanese place and the best price online! A full 90 minutes of fun! Look no further!
I had no experience making sushi before this class, but Ken made everything so easy and fun to follow. By the end, I was making nigiri and maki that actually looked and tasted great! The location in Asakusa is perfect too. A must-do in Tokyo!
It was a wonderful experience. The chef and the translator were exceptional!!
Absolutely incredible experience! It’s an intimate time that our family truly enjoyed and made our trip even better. They do such a great job explaining the history of sushi and taking their time for us to really understand how to make it! Would highly recommend if you want a fun and personal experience to share with your family or friends:)
Ken is an excellent instructor. We came across this class on the day of and booking was very simple. We learned a lot about the history of sushi and how to make it. The class was well-organized and fun. The team provided great conversation about general Japanese culture as well. We even got some special tips on where to find early cherry blossoms in February nearby. I feel confident after this class that i could start making sushi at home.
This was the perfect way to experience Japanese culture. Making sushi ourselves was something well always remember. Can't recommend it enough!
Highly Recommend! Great experience and attention to details! I If you never made sushi , this is your class! Or even fun with friends! At the end it's matcha tea class! Very friendly!
10/10 recommend. Such s fun class. Teacher was amazing and sushi was so good
