What makes Tokyo Art Culture Tour Sannomaru Shozokan Museum & Sushi Making a unique experience ?
Opened in 1993 within the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, the Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannonaru Shozokan, is home to priceless artworks that were previously passed down in the Imperial Family. The museum’s collection spans diverse genres from calligraphy, painting to decorative arts, including many iconic, celebrated works from each period of Japan’s history. After a temporary closure to expand the exhibition spaces, the museum has been partially reopened in November 2023. Discover the new museum and its exhibitions through a private curator-guided tour.
Ippodo’s origins date back three centuries to the year 1717, when Rihei Watanabe established a shop called Omiya to sell tea and ceramics. In 1846, the shop was renamed Ippodo, which literally means “preserve one.” Suggesting “time for tea” works well in all sorts of situations—for a refreshing change of pace, or to just chat or catch up with old friends. It’s a time to rest and unwind while enjoying properly brewed Japanese tea.
“Matsunozushi” started in Central Tokyo as a street stall in 1910. You can learn how to handle raw fish and make sushi under the guidance of a professional sushi chef, Yoshi. This will be a great way to get to know Japanese culture and it is sure to be an unforgettable experience. Then, enjoy the sushi you prepared yourself. He will explain the history and introduce you to the world of the true Edo-style sushi, during eating sushi.
Chef: Yoshinori Tezuka (Yoshi)
