Not Just Sushi Making! A Unique Tuna Nakaochi Experience for Pairs

Imagine you’re at a sushi class, but instead of just learning how to shape nigiri, you’re handed a large fillet of tuna and a spoon. The task: to extract fresh, rich, and flavorful tuna meat from the bones—also known as “nakaochi”—a rare and highly coveted cut of fish found between the bones of a tuna’s spine. The freshness of the meat combined with the unique method of scraping it from the bones makes this an experience that you can’t easily replicate in your kitchen—or anywhere else, for that matter.

In this part of the class, the focus isn’t just on individual work but on teamwork. As seen in the photos above, the experience is even better when done together, especially with a partner. One person can hold the bone in place while the other gently scrapes away the delicate flesh, fostering a sense of connection and shared achievement. There’s something truly special about working side by side to extract the very best part of the tuna, just as sushi chefs have done for centuries.

What makes this activity stand out is that it’s not something you’d experience in just any sushi class. The hands-on nature of removing nakaochi from the bones by yourself makes it a memorable, one-of-a-kind adventure. You’re not only learning the techniques behind sushi but also engaging in a tactile, sensory experience that highlights the importance of fresh ingredients and craftsmanship.

This is not just a cooking class—it’s an unforgettable experience, offering the rare chance to do something few sushi lovers ever get to try. Whether you’re with a partner or sharing the experience with fellow sushi enthusiasts, the feeling of teamwork, fun, and accomplishment is what makes this part of the sushi class so special.

In this sushi class, participants aren’t just learning how to make sushi—they are bonding, working together, and enjoying the process of transforming a whole fish into a delicious meal. Through unique experiences like this, the class goes beyond the simple act of cooking and becomes something truly memorable.
