Memorable Sushi Making Experience For Our Group! - Thank you to Kana and her spectacular team for an incredible culinary experience! We had a wonderful time. Kana curated a class that made sushi making entertaining and approachable, and the best part was that we got to consume our creations, so we left full and happy. We are a group of six lifelong friends traveling through Japan and this was one of the highlights of our trip. We will always remember this fondly and would recommend it to anyone considering a class at atelier sushi.

Awesome experience!!! - I highly recommend this course. Kana and the other instructors were very lovely and welcoming. The class was hands on and lots of fun... and the sushi was very good as well. We did this course shortly after arriving in Kyoto and Kana had lots of good recommendations (hikes, temples, restaurants) for the remainder of our trip. 5 stars... highly recommend!

Highly recommend for an authentic experience. - Attended the sushi making class with my sister. The building itself was very hospitable with deep history. Kana was a fantastic instructor. She was incredibly kind, instructive, and very encouraging. We were able to make several pieces of nigiri and a roll of maki sushi. I feel confident I can replicate the experience for my family. Kana and Kerim also were very informative about the area and lent advice which we took. I recommend taking the class the first day you arrive to help your trip!

Amazing teacher and experience - What an amazing sushi class with Kana. She was just so personable and made you feel welcome from second one. It’s one of those experiences you hoped lasted longer. You get to eat your creations at the end. It is just so well done and it really is fun. Ken we thank you too for your help and your suggestions for the rest of our day in Kyoto. Thank you for such a great time.
