What you get

    About this experience

    5.0★ rated by 730+ guests worldwide. Tripadvisor Excellence Badge certified. Step into Asakusa for a lively, hands-on sushi experience blending culture, skill, and celebration — perfect for families, couples, and friends of all ages. Start with Kagami-biraki: chant "Yoisho!", open a sake barrel, and toast to new beginnings (non-alcohol option available). Then learn nigiri essentials — shape rice, handle toppings, and place fish like a pro. No experience needed — kids love it, and first-timers always feel right at home. Create 6–10 pieces, finish with a matcha ceremony, and leave with skills and photos the whole family will treasure. Have a food allergy or prefer no raw fish? Just let us know in advance — we'll do our best to accommodate every guest so everyone can enjoy the full experience together. Steps from Asakusa Station — Senso-ji, Kaminarimon, Tokyo Skytree, and Ryogoku Sumo Hall all nearby.

    It was a fun way to learn...

    It was a fun way to learn about Japanese food culture. Making the sushi and matcha was enjoyable and educational. It was a lot of sushi to eat which filled our dinner requirement.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much! We love that the class doubled as dinner for you, that's something a lot of our guests appreciate. So glad it was both enjoyable and educational. Hope to welcome you back to our sushi making class in Asakusa, Tokyo someday!

    Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

    How much does Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha cost?

    +

    Prices start at $7700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

    Is Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 78 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha?

    +

    Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Asakusa Tokyo Sushi Making Class : Sake Ceremony & Whisk Matcha start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

    +

    Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

    +

    Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tokyo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
