Tsukiji Outer Market & Sushi Making

An early start this morning takes you to Tsukiji outer market. Whilst no longer home to the city's wholesale fish market, the original outer market at Tsukiji with its hundreds of shops and stalls remains open. Wander through the crowded lanes where alongside fresh produce, you will find all sorts of food related goods, knives and kitchenware. Your private guide will share some background on Japan’s market culture and introduce some of the more exotic items before taking you to a cooking venue. Here you will learn to prepare maki sushi (rolled sushi), gunkan maki (sushi rice wrapped with a strip of seaweed and topped with fish roe) and nigiri sushi (sushi rice topped with a slice of raw fish) which you will later enjoy for lunch.    

Departs: Daily except Sunday (and occassional Wednesdays) at 08:30
