About this tour
A 3-hour hands-on sushi-making class in Osaka's Dotonbori district where you'll learn three techniques—nigiri, rolled, and pressed sushi—from a local Japanese instructor, then eat everything you've made with miso soup. Suited to anyone keen to build real sushi skills in a working kitchen, no prior experience needed.
Highlights
- Make three distinct sushi types: nigiri, salad roll, and oshi-zushi pressed
- Learn from a local Japanese instructor in Dotonbori
- Eat your finished sushi and miso soup straight after class
- All ingredients, apron and recipe card provided
- Vegetarian and gluten-free options available with advance notice
- Fully wheelchair accessible venue and facilities
- Close to public transport links
What to expect
You'll arrive at the kitchen and receive an apron and recipe sheet. Your instructor will walk you through each sushi type step by step—hand-shaping nigiri first, then rolling technique for the salad roll, then pressing and slicing oshi-zushi. You'll handle ingredients yourself throughout, guided at each stage.
Once all three are complete, you'll sit down to eat your own sushi alongside a bowl of miso soup. The class wraps up after the meal, giving you time to ask final questions or chat with the instructor. Plan to be there for the full 3 hours.
