Amazing sushi class with Hide! Family-friendly and such a wonderful memory! - My family (2 boys ages 12 and 14) and I had the best time with Hide at his sushi making class in Kyoto. No joke we arrived back in the states on Tuesday and by the weekend I went to our local Japanese market and purchased the ingredients to make some sushi at home. Hide’s course was that good to inspire me to re-create the class at home!
He’s a very patient instructor both for adults and kids. You will really leave the class not only with a full stomach, but also with the skills to make sushi on your own and an appreciation for what goes into the craft.
A few other points I wanted to highlight:
1. Hide was a pleasure to work with and provided tips to me about my travel to Kyoto generally as this was my first time. He helped me find an incredible omakase tempura restaurant and actually joined me family for dinner the night after our sushi class! You must check out this tempura restaurant and make reservations in advance. Limited counter seats available for lunch and dinner. It’s a small place called Gion Tempura Bansan right in the heart of Gion.
2. The bar where Hide held our class was also a lot of fun. We took this class at 4:30 pm in the upstairs room of the bar and indulged in a couple of cocktails during the class. The bartender speaks great English and it seems like the bar caters to foreigners so a nice place to unwind after intense sight-seeing.
Make this sushi class a DEFINITE part of your trip, whether you’re going with family, friends of colleagues. It’s a really unique and fun way to experience the amazing culture of Japan! And Hide is a true gem!

A must do in Kyoto - Yutaka and Takeshi were outstanding! They explained/demonstrated very easily how to make sushi and we used a variety of fish. Incredibly friendly/welcoming & a beautiful setting. A must do in Kyoto!
