Kyoto sits far from the sea, and its old-school sushi was pressed and cured, like the mackerel saba-zushi carried over the mountains from Wakasa Bay. Classes today teach hand-pressed nigiri, and one adds the spectacle of breaking down a whole tuna.
Discover authentic Japanese sushi with a hands-on class in Kyoto. Learn, make, and taste your own sushi under friendly guidance—perfect for food lovers.
