September is here, but Tokyo is still hot! This time we welcomed a guest from Taiwan living in the U.S. and another from Thailand. 🍣✨ A true sushi fan who even makes sushi at home, they asked lots of fun questions and filled the lesson with smiles and energy.

The family shared that every Friday back home is “Sushi Day”—they might enjoy sushi even more than many in Japan! They were full of curiosity, asking questions like how Japanese decide if fish is safe to eat raw, the role of pickled ginger, and the proper way to use wasabi. It made for a lively and fun session.

We welcomed a wonderful family from California and Texas. Even dad, who said he wasn’t into sushi, had so much fun making his own. Tuna was the star again—fresh, delicious, and enjoyed in many styles!

They enjoyed a true tuna feast with gunkan, hand rolls, and seared tuna, while also showing amazing nigiri skills — so good that we half-jokingly suggested a career change to a sushi restaurant. At Sushi Academy Ginza, we do our best to accommodate each guest’s requests, offering a hands-on sushi experience that is both fun and personalized. Just a short walk from Ginza Station, it’s the perfect way to create unforgettable memories during your stay in Japan.

During the busy Obon holiday season, we welcomed two families from Israel for a private sushi-making lesson in Ginza. The lively session was filled with smiles and laughter, with eel being the crowd favorite. At Sushi Academy Ginza, we also offer private lessons tailored to your travel schedule.

Conveyor belt sushi is now enjoyed not only in Japan, but all around the world. In Japan, it has become a part of everyday life for many people and is loved by all generations. With the rise of digital technology and entertainment elements, kaiten-zushi has evolved into a fun and accessible dining experience. For us, too, it’s an essential and enjoyable way to experience sushi.
