In Yuriage, become a sushi chef for just one day.

At the Yuriage Port Morning Market, we offer a sushi-making experience every Saturday from 5 PM for international tourists.

A special sushi-making experience will be held at the Yuriage Port Morning Market in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, starting at 5 PM. You can interact with professional sushi chefs and learn directly how to shape the rice and handle the toppings.

For the main course, we offer the ark clams from Yuriage, hailed as "the best in Japan," and melt-in-your-mouth fatty tuna. After changing into authentic jinbei (traditional Japanese summer wear) and enjoying the feeling of being a craftsman, spend a blissful dinner enjoying the sushi you've lovingly made yourself and the market's specialty, "seri nabe" (Japanese parsley hot pot).

Furthermore, the lively "Yuriage Port Morning Market" will be held at the same venue from 6:00 AM the following day (Sunday). We highly recommend staying overnight to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the market firsthand.
