Our Verdict: good combination — but the listing contradicts itself on vegetarians

Read this before booking if you are vegetarian. The listing’s own two fields disagree. Its not suitable for list names vegans and vegetarians, while its good to know section says the opposite: “For our sushi making class, vegetarians and gluten-free guests are more than welcome.” We can’t resolve that from the outside, and we would rather flag it than guess. Message the operator before you book if it affects you.

What’s genuinely strong: this is the rare listing here with an empty exclusions list — nothing is carved out of the price. You get the market walk with a local guide, the workshop, and lunch is the five nigiri and one roll you make yourself, with an English-speaking host alongside a professional sushi master. Infants and toddlers go free unless they want their own sushi set.

The trade-off against the same operator’s $53 class: you are paying roughly $41 more for the market walk attached to the front. Worth it if the market is why you came; not if you only want the class.

Note there are no refunds for late arrival, and the tour cannot be extended to compensate.
