Delicious sushi and great company! - We had such a great time learning to make sushi and having wonderful conversations with our hosts! They gave us so many other great recommendations in Japan to check out and we even got a fun little gift bag with a sushi roller and chopsticks so we can make more at home! Would definitely recommend this experience if you go to Kyoto!

A great morning making sushi and eating lunch! - Being by myself, I found it easy to get to Altier sushi… I took a short taxi ride to the venue and it was easy and fast to take an uber taxi back to the hotel. The sushi making was fun and delicious. The owners - instructor Kana and helper Karim were knowledgeable and entertaining. I THROUGHLY enjoyed my lunch with the other guests and hosts.

Top favorite activity on our family trip to Japan - Definitely one of the top 3 favorite things about our visit to Japan! The owners are incredibly kind, patient, and so warm and welcoming. Sushi is one of our family’s favorite things to eat, and we have even tried to make it at home after self educating ourselves. This class taught us so much about the proper way of making sushi. The ingredients were all incredibly fresh, and the instruction on how to make our own nigiri and maki was fantastic. We created some of the tastiest sushi we have ever had. Thank you for an amazing experience that we will never forget!!!!
