10/10 experience

My husband and I did this sushi tour and tea ceremony and it was the highlight of our trip. Akko was our tour guide and she delivered over and above. Learning about Japanese culture through the lens of Akko and the sushi chef was an additional plus to learning how to make sushi. Highly recommend!

Incredible experience learning and eating/drinking

My husband and I had an incredible experience with Yuka! She and the amazing chefs who taught/served us did such a wonderful job explaining everything, teaching us about the history of sushi making and other cultural things, and answering all of our questions. The sushi, sweets, sake, and matcha tea were all so delicious. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you again!
