Me and my friends had the best time at Casa de Tomokita!
Tomoko was so friendly. She first took us on a walk through her neighbourhood to see a nearby garden and temple.
She customised a delicious, fully vegan lunch for us, with 5 side dishes, 2 mains, and a dessert. We got involved in the cooking, learnt about japanese products and even tasted homemade plym wine.
It was a joy to spend the day in Tomoko's kitchen cooking and eating.
Could not recommend more!
Cannot wait to cook these at home.

Customizable Vegetarian Washoku Home Cooking Class (Tokyo)
Cooking Classes
Our experience was absolutely phenomenal. We felt so welcomed and accommodated by our teacher and went the extra mile throughout. He was very kind and patient, too. When cooking, he was extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much more than what we expected. The food was absolutely delicious and the tea ceremony was fun, too. I couldn’t recommend this experience more!

Washoku: Authentic Japanese Cooking Class (Fushimi, Kyoto)
Cooking Classes
Pretty straight forward. Unsurprisingly you don’t really learn how to make Ramen. It’s a nice experience but if you are looking for a proper cooking class this isn’t it. If you want to eat good ramen and get a fun picture, than this is what you want.
