- AKEMI’s SUSHiKiTCHEN - The Chef has 7 years of experience in the restaurant industry in Japan. She has completed the Edomae Sushi Technique Acquisition Course at the Tokyo Sushi School. She applies her culinary skills and proficiency in English to offer an enjoyable and educational Sushi Cooking Lesson in her home. Guests can enjoy an at-home environment in a quiet, residential area of Japan, as they learn how to make four types of sushi. The lesson culminates in a delicious meal that the participants have made themselves. Akemi sources only the best ingredients to make the sushi, including blended rice specially ordered from Hachidaime Gihey in Kyoto (est. 1787) and fresh fish (“neta”) sourced directly from fish markets in Toyosu and Tsukiji. In addition to learning how to make sushi, guests will learn about the history of sushi, essential terminology, and sushi eating etiquette. Even Japanese guests have told us that they learned a lot about their own food culture! Lessons are limited to a maximum of five students, so you will be assured plenty of personal attention. Even if you have never tried sushi before, you can be confident that your hand-prepared meal will be a delight.

SUSHI♡♡ - From the moment I walked in the front door of AKEMI’s SUSHiKiTCHEN, I could feel the wonderful atmosphere.
Although I am Japanese, I didn’t know anything about Edomae Sushi, so I was able to enjoy learning from square one.
The exquisite harmony of the red vinegar rice and fish, the fresh aroma and spiciness of fresh wasabi, and the gentle flavor of the soup that takes nothing away from th sushi; it was all outstanding.
I would like to see many people enjoy this experience. My mother, who participated in the lesson with me, said over and over, “I’m so happy.” Soothed by the warm hospitality of Akemi and her husband, we brought a lovely year to a close.

You can experience sushi - I made sushi myself for the first time in my life, as I received an enjoyable lesson in a very comfortable kitchen.
The sushi looked beautiful, and it was all delicious.
What a wonderful experience!

Sushi class in Tokyo: I recommend Akemi’s Sushi Kitchen without any hesitation. - I took a sushi class at Akemi’s Sushi Kitchen on December 26, 2024. During this course, I was lucky enough to be the only student registered for the chosen time slot. Since I have enjoyed making sushi for a long time and want to improve my techniques, I took the opportunity to ask specific questions about what I want to improve, in terms of preparing rice and preparing nigiri sushi. Akemi also showed me some fish preparation techniques. So I was lucky to have a very personalized course. It was beyond my expectations. I recommend this course to everyone, during your next stay in Tokyo. Thank you very much to Akemi and her husband Dan. 🍣🍣🤩👍👍

Excellent sushi experience in a lovely Tokyo home - We had a wonderful time learning about and making sushi at Akemi's Sushi Kitchen! Akemi and Dan are super friendly hosts and we enjoyed the atmosphere of their lovely home. Akemi is a great teacher and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Even though we were already big sushi fans we still learned a lot of new things! We would highly recommend this experience to friends and family.

There was lots that I didn’t know; I learned about the joy of sushi, and I was reminded of how beautiful culture is.
I enjoyed this experience with my colleagues, and it was interesting to see how everyone’s finished sushi plate was attractive but different!

What is Sushi
Why don't you get to know a little more sushi?
When I tried something delicious to eat until I made it, it felt even better.
