Kenji’s food tour was a phenomenal experience with true depth and passion. From the tour of the Tsujiki food market, to the purchase of the necessary ingredients to prepare the sushi, to the preparation of sushi and then subsequent consumption, every step of the way was filled with history, humor, and brightness that Kenji’s personality allows. I learned so much from each part of the experience and I am forever benefitted and educated from it. I highly recommend attending Kenji’s class and tour as it will leave you more cultured and knowledgeable about sushi and Japanese fish food markets.

Wonderful tour! Kenji took us through the market to spots we never would have discovered & thought us a lot about history and Japanese culture. He was very happy to customize the tour just for us. Highly recommended!

The three of us booked a private experience with Kenji. He took us through the market, where we purchased fish for our preparation. That was quite an experience. After a short train ride to his neighborhood, he then taught us how to prepare the fish and rice for sushi. This is a fantastic class for anybody that has thought about doing this themselves. Great individual instruction. Kenji is very informative and enthusiastic.
