May in Kyoto is the season of fresh greenery.
With many sunny days, tourists from various countries visited the city.
In this post, we'll introduce the experiences of those who came for our sushi-making workshops in May!
In May, Sushi Lab. welcomed various guests, from individuals to groups of 40 people, who came to learn sushi making.
We are still accepting reservations for June and July, so please make your Booking from the top page!
Small group Guests
We made three types of sushi using classic fish like tuna and salmon, as well as seasonal fish like yellowtail, horse mackerel, and sea bream that were at the end of their peak season.
May's dessert was strawberries. Japanese strawberries are known for their large size, uniform shape, and striking visual appeal. They are characterized by their high sugar content and strong sweetness, with soft, juicy flesh that provides a delightful texture. Additionally, their rich aroma is one of the charms of Japanese strawberries.
