Private sushi counter experience with a master chef
Some experiences are difficult to describe until you are standing inside them. private sushi counter experience with a master chef is, for many travellers to Japan, exactly this kind of moment — set against Tokyo, Japan, one of the region's most quietly extraordinary backdrops.
Every detail — timing, transport, guiding — is arranged in advance, so the day itself is left free simply to happen.
This is arranged as an add-on to your wider Japan itinerary, timed around your lodge stays and existing game drives or excursions so that it slots into your journey rather than competing with it. It is the kind of addition that turns a very good itinerary into an unforgettable one.
Good to Know
Availability, exact timings and pricing depend on your itinerary, lodge and season — your Finders & Keepers Safaris specialist will confirm details and slot this experience into your existing day-by-day plan.
Sit at the counter, and let him lead
At a proper sushi counter the menu is a conversation rather than a document. The chef reads what the market gave him that morning and builds the sequence from there, so the correct answer to almost every question is to defer. Eat each piece the moment it is placed in front of you — the rice is at body temperature and it does not wait — and use fingers rather than chopsticks if that feels natural.
