Nishiki Market, Private Sushi class & Sake Tasting in Townhouse

Discover the essence of Kyoto through a vibrant local food adventure and sushi-making experience. Begin with a guided stroll through the 400-year-old Nishiki Market where you’ll sample seasonal treats, meet local vendors, and explore hidden culinary gems. Then visit Nishiki Shrine, tucked away behind the market’s lantern-lit alleyways. Next, step into a beautifully preserved Kyomachiya (traditional townhouse) where you’ll enjoy a mini sake tasting and learn about Japan’s renowned sake culture. The highlight of your journey is a hands-on rolled sushi workshop, guided by a local instructor. You'll also prepare homemade miso soup from scratch (with dashi) and seasonal Japanese side dishes. To finish, a simple Japanese-style dessert is also included, providing a sweet touch to conclude your experience. Vegetarian and vegan options are available with advance notice. This experience is offered in English and includes a recipe booklet so you can recreate the flavors of Kyoto at home.
