I hesitated at first because of the price but I can say that it is totally worth it! I was alone so I got a private workshop. Yuko has excellent English and her explanations were simple and interesting. she was patient, professional and kind. and I learned a lot about Japanese sweets and through them about Japanese culture. In addition, I experienced making delicious matcha. Highly recommend!

Nerikiri and Mochi Wagashi Making Class in Bunkyo, Tokyo

Cooking Classes

My wife and I had an amazing time with KT on the Mystery Bike Tour! She gave us a look at a side of Japan we would never have found without her guidance. Not only did she show us some quirky sites (I won’t spoil them for you) but we rode through some very peaceful areas as well. We never expected to find such serene locations only a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya Crossing (15-20 min travel). KT is so cool! She tailored the experience around our dietary preferences and fitness level. The food she introduced us to was delicious and not too heavy for the long bike ride. Her english is exceptional, and the information she shared was very interesting. Honestly, this was one of our favorite experiences during our 2-week stay in Japan. We are from the USA. If you are looking for a true Japanese experience outside of the typical tourist traps, book this tour! Especially if you are looking for a bit of exercise during your trip. We plan to book with KT again the next time we are in Tokyo.

We had a fantastic time at the Sake and Shochu Information Center! The Sake tasting included a short informative presentation and a tasting of 8 sakes. There was even a fun little quiz at the end, which we thought was very fun! Our hosts were very accommodating and kind. We would definitely recommend this experience to others!
