Excellent sushi-making experience
Our "SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant" was great fun and really approachable regardless of your culinary skill level. The instructor and chef, Shinichi, prepared the sushi rice and cuts of fish in advance so we could dive in right away. He started us off with 3 small bites and then demonstrated how to make the sushi (nigiri) before bringing each class participant up for one-on-one instruction on several different ways of forming the nigiri. It felt intimidating at first, but he quickly put us at ease with words of encouragement and gentle corrections if they were needed. I'm sure I wasn't actually superb at making nigiri, but Shinichi certainly made all of us feel like rockstars. All the food and fish we ate was excellent, but I have to give particular shoutouts to the best squid nigiri I have ever had and also especially Shinichi's homemade mochi for dessert. Throughout the class, we communicated with Shinichi via a translator who was fantastic, and also had many photos and videos taken and transferred to us by a third individual. I regrettably do not recall either of their names, but all three individuals were very friendly, worked very well together and with us, and really made the experience come together. Our only regret is not returning to the restaurant for dinner. If using Google Maps, search "エミネンスＭＡＴＯＢＡ" and NOT just "M A T O B A." Street View will show you what looks to be the entrance on the north side of the building but fun fact, it's a stairwell and the actual entrance to the restaurant is on the east side of the building.

Great experience
Really enjoyed this class and in particular the personal one on one approach we received. The chef was very well trained and even made us personalized menus which was a nice touch. Great way to learn sushi making from a master chef

Authentic Sushi Experience w/ Real Chef
I was drawn to this particular experience for two reasons: (1) it was conducted by a real sushi chef, and not just some random "expert"; (2) it was hosted in a real sushi restaurant, and not just some floor in an office building where other similar experiences are typically held. You won't regret doing this. I had a Michelin star sushi dinner a week after doing this, and this made me appreciate the dining more as I was able to understand what the sushi chef was doing because of what I had learned here. No cooking ability? No problem. The chef is very hands-on and will individually tailor the experience for each person so that no one feels out of place or embarrassed. No one was left unhappy. While the chef speak little English, he does understand it. At our experience, he had two translators two available. Two things to be aware of: (1) the address of the restaurant in the listing does NOT appear in Google Maps or Apple Maps. You'll need to adjust the number to pull up a building or street nearby if you want to pre-plan your route. You can verify the place using street view. Note that Google Maps street View is out of date and has the pre-restaurant images. (2) Parking is also not available at the property. I parked at the Mitsuino Repark Kagonoya Shimizudani koko mae parking lot, roughly two blocks away on the main street, and is metered.

Great guide to a beginners sushi class. The chef had many years of experience and the other instructor did a great job of translating and explaining.

A Birthday Treat
The restaurant for this experience is off the beaten path about 2 miles away from Osaka Castle. Take an Uber from the train station to save yourself a lot of walking. This experience is worth it! The chef is a fabulous teacher! He was patient and courteous. We learned how to make sushi, maki and the famous egg omelet. He fed us delicious ramen, miso soup and dessert along with the delicious, fresh sushi we made. Excellent!!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Osaka.
How much does SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant cost?
+
Prices start at $196 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Osaka usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Osaka is not rushed.
Is SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Osaka, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant?
+
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 SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant?
+
Around 3 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 Osaka 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 Osaka and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does SUSHI Making Experience at Restaurant 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 Osaka 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 Osaka?
+
On Outty we rank every Osaka experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hungry Osaka Street Food Tour:15 Tastings & 3 Drinks with a Local, Ultimate Osaka Walking Tour: Castle, Dotonbori, Gems & Lunch, Osaka Castle Walking Tour and Castle Tower Admission. 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 Osaka?
+
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 Osaka?
+
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.
