What to Expect
You arrive in Kure, a port city in Hiroshima Prefecture with deep ties to the sea and a strong local food culture rooted in fresh seafood. As you step into the restaurant — a casual, welcoming sushi or seafood dining spot listed on Tabelog — your guide introduces the session and helps orient you to what the next 90 minutes will involve. The setting is relaxed and approachable, designed for hands-on participation rather than formal dining.
The sushi chef stands before you and walks through the technique of forming nigiri sushi, demonstrating each step clearly so you can follow along. You press, shape, and assemble your own pieces under the chef’s guidance, adjusting your grip and technique as you go. Your guide is on hand throughout to translate, clarify, and relay your questions directly to the chef, making the back-and-forth between you and the professional seamless.
By the end of the session, you sit down to eat the nigiri you have shaped with your own hands. The Q&A woven into the experience lets you draw out the chef’s knowledge — from ingredient selection to the reasoning behind specific techniques — so you leave with a clearer understanding of what goes into each piece. The sushi you prepare and eat is the direct result of your own work during the session.
