Cooking Classes

I had such a lovely time at this onigiri-making class with my friends! The sweetest grandma taught us how to make onigiri and shared so many helpful tips and little tricks along the way. It was such a fun and heartwarming experience, and we got to enjoy making something delicious together. I would especially recommend this experience for families and children it’s a wonderful way to spend quality time together while learning about Japanese food and culture. A fun, hands-on activity for all ages! 🍙💕

I was honestly surprised by how easy and enjoyable it was to make onigiri by myself. The instructors were incredibly kind and always ready to help, especially toward the end when I needed a little extra guidance. I made tuna mayo, beef, and eggs , and all three were so delicious. One of my favorite moments was taking photos together at the end the way everyone smiled and waved made the whole experience feel especially warm and memorable

The onigiri experience taught me a lot more than I originally expected! I've made onigiri before but never been taught in a more home-style manner, and it showed! My first onigiri was rather embarrassing, but with the help of the chefs teaching I was able to create a beautiful onigiri I could be very proud of, plus be able to make for my family in the future. And of course, the onigiri was delicious too - great ingredient selection! I think you'll get even more value out of it if you learn some basic Japanese food words first, but the entire experience was in English.

The experience was great. The chef explained everything fully detailed and the meal was great with quality local ingredients. I would repeat and recommend it with no doubt

It was such a lovely experience and very enjoyable! I did not know before that tofu is so versatile and can cook that many flavorful dishes from it. Morimi san is such a lovely lady who is welcoming and patient throughout the lesson. The cooking steps were easy to follow and at the end of the class, we enjoyed the delicious meal together. I have already got all the ingredients and looking forward to recreate it myself at home!

I went with my 16 year-old daughte. A wonderful place. Highly recommended I would do it again. The food and the experience was excellent, but the host were the best part of the experience . Engaging.

Rina war toll-wir haben viel gelernt und hatten sehr gutes Essen!

Great experience, loved it

I had an amazing experience! The chef was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the omurice was absolutely perfect. Host Motokichi chef made the experience truly unforgettable. He shared so many interesting stories, and the meal was unlike anything we've had before. If you're visiting Kyoto, this is an absolute must-do. Highly recommended! I had an amazing experience!

My first time joining an onigiri-making class, and I had so much fun. 🍙🤍 Please take a moment to read this. This experience was such a privilege and something I'll always remember. While I enjoyed learning how to make onigiri, what truly captured my heart was hearing the story behind it from our teacher, who has spent years perfecting this craft. Many people think making onigiri is simple and technically, it is. But making it with love, compassion, dedication, and a genuine desire to nourish others is what makes it truly special. That is the secret ingredient you can never replicate. We also learned that the rice they use comes from Niigata's Sekikawa Village (関川村), where premium Koshihikari rice is grown. The clean water and rich natural environment of Japan contribute to the exceptional quality and flavor of the rice, making every bite taste even more special. After hearing their stories, I realized that what they truly want to share isn't just how to make onigiri it's the heart, culture, and tradition behind it. It's about showing the world what makes Japanese onigiri different. I'm so grateful to have experienced this. It wasn't just a cooking class—it was a beautiful lesson about passion, craftsmanship, and sharing kindness through food. A memory I'll always cherish and one I'm happy to share with others. 🇯🇵🍙

Fumi was incredibly nice. Everything was extremely clean, neat and organized. The food was delicious and the cooking process was fun and easy. Recipes are provided at the end. Highly recommended!

This was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had! I happened to meet the owner on Threads while posting about Japan, and learned she had a Ramen experience that took place at both her brother’s 3rd generation ramen factory and her house for dinner. We got to try their grandpa’s original ramen after flattening it and cutting it ourselves, as well as try salad, gyoza, and pork ramen soup that were all their mother’s and grand mother’s recipes. She even took care to make sure my mom’s shellfish allergy wasn’t an issue! We spent 5 hours with this kind family, had amazing and deep conversations about cultural similarities and differences, and even got to meet the family’s children, neighbor, and dogs! It was such a soulful experience and I cannot recommend enough. Might be the best experience I’ve ever had in Japan!
