Kyoto Vegetable Private Tour & Edible Flower Vegan Sushi Making

Experience making your own vegan temari sushi (ball-shaped sushi) with fresh seasonal vegetables and edible flowers! Start with a tour to learn about Kyoto’s seasonal vegetable production and shop for ingredients.

Begin by exploring the nearby depachika to experience Japan’s modern food culture and trends by region, and shop for fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes for your sushi.

Continue to Nishiki Market, a local market with over 400 years of history and the heart of Kyoto’s kitchen. Learn about the history, varieties, and importance of local vegetable cultivation methods. You will shop for ingredients such as edible flowers, pickles, and Konbu, then head to your sushi-making class.

In the class, learn how to prepare sushi rice and shape your temari sushi using the fresh ingredients bought during the tour. Create Instagram-worthy sushi and enjoy it for an early dinner.

Finally, you will receive a recipe so you can recreate your temari sushi at home with locally sourced ingredients.
