Do you love sushi? Do not you want to learn how to make real Sushi from the master? You can do so on your next trip to Japan. Once you learn, you can try to make it back home.

In this article, we introduce several key locations in Tokyo, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto for a quick Sushi training. Be aware that all places have no English speaking sushi master thus you better be with someone who can translate Japanese into English or so, or everyone will get lost! There is 100% crenelation fee if no show-up or cancellation on the day. If you are a vegetarian or have any allergy, you need to let the organizer know in advance.
