Casual Cooking Classes(240)

Hide is a nice and professional chef. He introduced us in the world of sushi by step by step learning. The fish was from amazing quality. And he gave us nice sightseeing tips for Kyoto. We would definitely recommend him.

Incredible cooking experience. Aki-san was a very kind host, helpful and showed everything step by step. In the end, we had about five different dishes, and I was unable to finish it all (even though I really wanted to). She also provided hand-written recipes afterwards and gave all kinds of useful shopping tips for ingredients. Without a doubt one of my favourite cooking experiences in years. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderfull experience. Aki is an excellent host. She introduced us in Japanese kitchen, we prepared a great lunch. But also we had a great time chatting about our families, and about the differences between Japan and the Netherlands.

This was the highlight of our trip to Kyoto! The town can feel a little too touristy but this experience was amazing and the owner was so personable. It was great talking to him and learning about noodles! Plus the lunch at the restaurant was so good!

Our mochi class with Satoko-san was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we stepped into her cozy studio, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that immediately made us feel at home. Satoko-san's friendly demeanor and passion for sharing her culture shone through every aspect of the class. Throughout the session, not only did we learn the intricate art of making mochi, but Satoko-san also took the time to delve into the rich tapestry of Japanese culture and tradition. From the significance of mochi in celebratory events like New Year's to its symbolic importance in weddings and other ceremonies, we gained a deeper appreciation for the role mochi plays in Japanese life. What truly set this experience apart was Satoko-san's ability to seamlessly blend tradition with modernity. As we crafted our own mochi under her expert guidance, she shared stories of how this centuries-old delicacy has evolved to suit contemporary tastes and lifestyles. From innovative flavor combinations to creative presentation ideas, we discovered a whole new world of mochi beyond the traditional varieties. By the end of the class, not only did we learn the art of mochi-making, but we also left with a newfound understanding of Japanese culture and customs. The experience was not just about food; it was a journey of cultural immersion and appreciation. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Satoko-san's mochi class highly enough. Whether you're a food enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or s
