Edo History and Edo Style Sushi Making Experience Tour in Tokyo

Start your journey in Nihonbashi, the historical heart of Edo’s commerce and fish market culture. Your licensed guide will introduce how seafood from Tokyo Bay and surrounding waters supported the daily life of Edo and helped shape the foundations of Edomae sushi.

Visit the Edo-Tokyo Museum to understand the city behind the cuisine. Through exhibits and storytelling, learn about Edo’s waterways, merchants, samurai, townspeople, markets, and everyday food culture. This stop helps guests understand why sushi developed as a quick, flavorful, and highly skilled food culture in urban Edo.

After learning about Edo’s fish markets and food culture, enjoy a hands-on sushi-making experience at Yoshida Sushi in Kabukicho. Guests will wear a happi coat, learn the basics of sushi-making, and try making sushi under the guidance of sushi staff. Learn the basic movements of shaping sushi rice and placing toppings, then try making your own sushi. This is also a great opportunity for photos and videos. After the lesson, enjoy sushi prepared by the sushi team. The Regular Plan includes a premium sushi tasting experience, while the VIP Plan includes an upgraded omakase-style sushi course with Japanese sake pairing. At the end, receive an original certificate as a memorable souvenir. Please note that the experience venue may vary depending on the number of participants and operational arrangements.

Visit Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai, a food and shopping complex next to Toyosu Market that recreates an Edo-period neighborhood atmosphere. Enjoy relaxed shopping for seafood-related products, Japanese food souvenirs, snacks, and other culinary items connected to Tokyo’s modern food culture. When time and market conditions allow, your guide may also introduce the Toyosu Market visitor areas before 5:00 p.m. on market business days. This optional visit is not a live auction tour, but a brief look at Tokyo’s modern seafood market culture. Toyosu Market is generally open to visitors from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except Sundays, public holidays, and other market closing days.
