Tuna Cutting Show in Tokyo & Unlimited Sushi & Sake

If you are a big fan of seafood, especially sushi and sashimi, you definitely should sign up for this tour. The tour starts with an introduction to the history of sushi/sashimi and how tuna came to be one of the most popular fish consumed in Japan. Then it is followed by a detailed explanation of different parts of a tuna, as the chef slices open the enormous fish. We get to learn which parts of the fish are popular - subsequently more expensive, and which parts are less popular. Each of us has our own favourites. Some of us prefer the fatty parts, some others prefer the lean parts; but we all can agree that the tuna we had was the freshest and most scrumptious fish we had ever had in our life! We were offered tuna sashimi in its purest form, which was to eat it by itself - without soy sauce or wasabi, and boy was it divinely delicious!!! And better yet, we get unlimited supply of any dishes and any cut of the fish, so we could always get a refill on our favourite bits. I have to warn you though, that there were more than 10 courses in total, so none of us actually needed to order a refill of anything. This tour also offers unlimited drinks. Our tour guides Miyuki-san and Dai-san gave us a brief explanation on how to pair different types of sake with the different parts of the fish. Liquor, beer, orange juice, etc. were also on offer, so we could freely choose what drinks to have with the food. Another nice thing was all the participants were standing around a big counter table, and even though we are from different groups, it was so much fun having a chat with other fellow participants. All in all, the tuna cutting tour is a brilliant and unique experience, and it is worth every penny. I highly highly recommend this tour while you visit Tokyo. Once you’ve had this tuna, there is no going back to having conveyor belt tuna, or convenience store tuna!

As a travel writer, I've had the pleasure of attending a variety of unique experiences that showcase the best of Japan's culinary culture, but nothing quite like this. From the welcoming address, the free-flowing drinks, and friendly guides to the informative tuna-cutting display, everything was an ideal balance of fun and educational. And the tuna? Incredible. While it was all you can eat, it was definitely more than enough. Highly reccommended!

こんな間近でマグロの解体ショーを見たのは初めて。 解体しながら部位を説明してくれるのも嬉しい。 解体後は、捌きたてのマグロを食べれる！希少部位のカマトロ・脳天、初めて食べたけど旨い！マグロのカマ焼きが出てきたのにはびっくり。これまた旨い！握り寿司も！その他、食べきれないほど色んなメニューが！ 日本酒も飲み放題！とっても貴重な経験でした。 また行きたいです。
