Itinerary
Day 1
Meeting point at Sushi Making Osaka for check-in, hands-on sushi lesson, and tasting.
Arrival & check-in
Please arrive at the Galleria Acca Building entrance and check in at the reception on the 3rd floor. Staff will confirm names and the session start.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time and enter the Galleria Acca Building (1-16-20 Higashi-Shinsaibashi); take the elevator to 3F for the classroom.
- Use Shinsaibashi Station (Osaka) for public transport—it's approximately a 5–8 minute walk to Higashi-Shinsaibashi.
- Have the name on the booking ready at check-in; the class begins promptly at the scheduled time.
Hands-on sushi making: roll sushi & authentic nigiri
Interactive demonstration and guided hands-on session. Learn sushi history via a short quiz, then make roll sushi and authentic Japanese nigiri under instructor supervision.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable clothing that can handle light splashes from soy sauce or vinegar used in sushi rice.
- Instructors speak English and will guide each step—ask questions and follow hands-on demonstrations for best results.
- If you require a special menu (vegan, vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, or allergy accommodations), this must have been requested at booking; changes cannot be made on the day.
Tasting, Q&A & wrap-up
Taste the sushi you made, take photos, ask final questions, and conclude the session. Staff will confirm any follow-up information before you depart.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow 10–15 minutes after the session for tasting, photos, and to gather your group before heading out.
- Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi shopping/eating streets are within a short walk from the venue if you plan to continue exploring immediately after class (for example, near Ebisu Bridge / Ebisubashi).
- Be considerate when photographing other guests and keep group noise at a friendly level so everyone can enjoy the tasting.
