I'm a sushi chef!! - An exceptional experience! Kana is very kind, knowledgeable, easy to understand, and extremely engaging. The sushi turned out phenomenal! It ended up being an immense amount, and we ate every bit! Delicious! Many thanks, Kana! Loved every second of the experience!

Fun experience! - We had a great time learning how to make sushi in this class. The kitchen/dining space was lovely and the instructor Kana was great - she was very friendly and took time to explain everything clearly, the ingredients were fresh and the finished sushi was delicious. Would definitely recommend this class to others!

Best experience we had in Japan! - The whole experience was brilliant! Kana was an excellent teacher, engaging and passionate. During the experience we made a wide range of sushi, so much we struggled to eat it all, though we did mange to as it tasted so good! During the class we learnt loads about sushi, Kyoto and Japan. As well as got some great recommendations for places to go and eat in Kyoto. Plus at the end, we even received some gifts so we can try our new skills back home. The experience was the highlight of our time in Kyoto and we would fully recommend it to anyone!

Can't-miss Sushi Experience! - An absolutely un-missable experience! Not only do you finish the course with a large portion of nigiri and maki, but the experience was incredibly educational and welcoming. I would return and take this class a second time.

A highlight of our time in Kyoto! - I can’t recommend this sushi-making class enough! Our hosts are not only masters of sushi, but also the most personable and fun hosts you could ask for. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were hanging out with old friends. They were full of jokes and stories—not just about sushi, but about the town, travel, and life in general. They kept us laughing and learning the entire time! Their knowledge of sushi (and the world!) was impressive, but what really stood out was how welcoming they were. After class ended, they let us stick around to wait for our taxi, and honestly, we could have hung out with them for hours! If you’re looking for a fun, educational, and genuinely enjoyable experience, I highly recommend this class. I’ll definitely be sending my friends and family! Thanks again 🍣👏

A real delight! - A true highlight of our trip to Kyoto. My husband and I visited Atelier Sushi for a sushi making class over lunch. The space is beautiful. Kana, our instructor, was so kind. We enjoyed learning how to make sushi with her. I only wish we had done this on our first day in Kyoto instead of our last as she provided some recommendations for things to see and places to shop, and we didn’t have enough time left to do them all. 10/10 would highly recommend!!

Great time for family from SF Bay Area! - We had a delightful time with Atelier Sushi learning all the tips and tricks needed for home-made sushi! We had tried a couple times on our own before, but we really learned how to make authentic nigiri and hand rolls. The staff was helpful, kind, and patient with our 8- and 11-year olds. Communication in english was easy, with lots of helpful discussion and learning about Japanese culture and Kyoto. Thank you Atelier Sushi!
