Lovely morning, really enjoyed myself and would recommend to anyone wanting to give sushi making ago !
Fantastic! Do not stop for lunch eat from the market stalls!
This was a great experience although I'm not sure why it is so expensive. Still, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Learning to make Japanese omelette, sushi and California roll then eating them all was a really memorable experience. The chef was good humoured and encouraging and the food was the best sushi I've ever tasted! ( thanks to the beautiful fresh ingredients). The female assistant was also fantastic.
Worthwhile and had the best chef to teach us. The English speaking guide was very informative and everyone had a great time. The food was beautiful and fresh and I will do it again next time I get to Japan.
The whole tour was fantastic, Viator was great, from ease of booking right through to organization of the tour pick up at the hotel, to Tsukiji market and finally with the sushi course. Having an English interpreter and a great sushi master made the course fun and I learned heaps. I am a pro chef myself and I found the course valuable! Thank you so much, highly recommended! This is a must do course whilst in Tokyo!
Translator was excellent and very informative. The chef was fun to work with and very patient. Great way to experience the Market and have a delicious lunch!
Our guide was very nice and looked after us well, but we were very disappointed that she just walked us to the outer market and left us there! We expected that we would have some kind of guide through the market, pointing out things that we may not be familiar with and explaining things to us (there were only 6 people in the group). We had already been through this part of the market ourselves the day before......so that was a waste of time and money. The sushi making class was a great experience!! The chef was a wonderful teacher, would have been even better if we spoke Japanese!!
Excellent tour guide who spoke great English and the whole experience was organized and efficient.
A bustling market, sometimes a little too crowded for me. All sorts of odd fish to be found (bag of squid beaks anyone?), definitely a sight to see. I really loved having sushi here, some of the best I have ever eaten and certainly fresh!
The chef was excellent and very funny. He was an excellent teacher, even though he spoke only in Japanese. Our tour guide was a good interpreter and we both had a fantastic time.
The sushi making experience was memorable! Taught by a professional sushi chef inside a culinary school. All nine of us including five children believed this tour was one of the highlights to Tokyo. It's worth the experience.
A great way to get introduced to Tokyo. The fish market was the highlight by far. The Edo museum was interesting, but by that time I think everyone on the tour was pretty exhausted so it was hard to take it all in. Our guide was very good at explaining what we were seeing, but I recommend reading a bit of Japanese history before going so you have a good context for the explanations.
I was really disappointed that the tour didn't actually go into the fish market as it implies, only visits the markets around the outside of the fish markets. The sushi making course however, was brilliant and we made about 6 different kinds of sushi under the instruction of a very cool Japanese sushi chef.
The tour started at 9 and I thought we would start with the fish market even if it was not 5 a.m. But we only got there in the afternoon and didn't see much. The restaurant recommended was at our own cost but much too expensive. Yes, I know, it was the "golden week" !
This tour was one of the highlights of my week in Tokyo. Even in the pouring rain, our leader made the tour of the fish market fun and informative; I definitely saw and learned more than I had on a previous visit on my own. And the sushi school was fantastic; I can't believe I managed to make a plate of assorted sushi, and have such a great time learning and doing it - and it was delicious! Really a wonderful experience - well worth it.
