"Sushi - but it's vegan!"

In this cooking class in Tokyo's traditional Asakusa neighborhood, teacher Ayaka will teach you how to make cute temari sushi (ball-shaped sushi). These sushi are colorful and easy to make at home, and best of all, they're made with sustainability in mind, supporting local farmers.

The Asakusa neighborhood is famous for its historic temples and shrines and has a unique old-school Shitamachi (city center) atmosphere. Despite being rich in culture and tradition, the region has been embracing new culinary concepts to cater to foreign visitors through food and accommodation such as vegan food.

Your Japanese cooking teacher Ayaka Wakahara is a travel professional who is passionate about plant-based food and offers vegan cooking classes in downtown Asakusa. Join Ayaka-sensei as you step into a modern restaurant with windows overlooking the river and the iconic Tokyo Skytree.

After a friendly introduction and brief teaching by the teacher, you will roll up your sleeves and start making a plant-based feast. Using locally grown and harvested produce, prepare a salad filled with seasonal greens, as well as protein-packed tofu.

Next, you'll learn how to make temari sushi. These spherical pieces of sushi are topped with carefully chopped vegetables and arranged in colorful patterns and designs, and they're too cute to eat! Enjoy this nutritious meal with miso soup while admiring the Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa Bridge skyline.
