Cut the Tuna.Don’t just watch it.

A whole tuna, a Japanese master at your side — Tokyo’s tuna cutting, with the blade in your hands.

Scroll

In Tokyo, tuna cutting is a show. You sit, you watch, you applaud. We hand you the knife instead.

Cut the Tuna is a guided, hands-on tuna cutting experience — built for groups who would rather take part than spectate.

The Experience

A master leads. Then it’s your turn.

A professional tuna master breaks down a whole tuna in front of your group — the dramatic, blade-first spectacle Japan is known for, with every cut and every part of the fish explained as it happens.

Then the experience turns. Guided hands-on by our team, your guests step up to the board and take part themselves — the moment that turns an audience into participants.

The whole experience is hosted in English, start to finish, by the team behind Ramen Cooking Tokyo.

The blade is yours

Not a performance behind a rope. A guided experience where your guests do the cutting themselves.

Hosted in English

Every step explained and interpreted in English, from the first cut to the last.

In Tokyo’s tuna country

Held at our private studio in Tsukishima — and, for larger groups, in the Tsukiji fish-market quarter.
