SAKURA Experience Japanese Culture Nijo Home — Decorative Sushi (Peach Blossom) Class
Meet at the instructor's home; short introduction to decorative sushi styles, demonstration of technique, guided hands-on making of a peach-blossom patterned roll, then slice-and-taste together. Suitable for participants with basic mobility; no prior sushi experience required.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early so you can remove shoes (indoor residential setting) and settle in; the host will begin promptly at 16:30 and a 15+ minute late arrival is treated as a no-show.
- If you have food allergies, dietary restrictions, or religious requirements, inform the operator in advance so ingredients can be adjusted; bring any necessary medication (e.g., epinephrine) as hosts are not responsible for medical incidents.
- Public transit is the easiest way to reach Izumicho (Nakagyo Ward); wear comfortable clothing with short or snug sleeves to avoid rice/sauce contact while rolling.
