DIY Seafood at Yashio (with English-speaking Guide)
The taste and aroma of the Sea of Japan
Takeno, a local fisherman's town just one train stop from Kinosaki Onsen, is rich with the natural bounty of fresh Japanese seafood caught daily.
At Yashio, a reservation-only restaurant in Takeno, savor the clean, natural flavors of locally sourced seafood and vegetables, crafted under the expert guidance of the owners.
The dedicated chef at Yashio personally visits the fish port for selection, focusing on meticulous preparation before cooking. In our workshop, learn techniques such as removing blood to enhance the flavor of the fish. Guests will make sushi using freshly prepared fish by themselves and specially aged fish by the chef. After the workshop, enjoy your own sushi creations alongside the chef's, paired with a sake tasting, or tea tasting if you prefer.
Make your own sushi
Learn from a master how to make authentic sushi using only the freshest fish caught directly from the nearby sea.
After your private lesson, savor the fruits of your labor with a lunch homemade by Yashio's staff, and also your handmade sushi!
An accompanying English guide will be your personal interpretor during the experience.
Along with your sushi, ingredients gracing your plate will include locally sourced vegetables, fish, and soup.
A sake or tea tasting is also provided.
