Experiencias Gastronómicas

Lovely and educational Experience I booked the Vegan Shojin Ryori Buddhist Cuisine Cooking Class because I was interested in something different than Sushi, Ramen or Gyoza which many people offer in Tokyo. I am very glad I did because I could spent a few hours with Yuka who is an excellent host and teacher! I learned quite a lot about Shojin Ryori as we cooked a handful of dishes together. Especially the Sesame Tofu is something I can now do with confidence at home! As I also booked the trip to the supermarket with Yuka she could show me all the ingredients needed for the dishes we did prepare together. Not to mention I brought many of those home with me! I also would like to mention that Yuka’s English is very good and I quite enjoyed spending the time with her as she can teach you a lot and has many stories to tell. Also do not be afraid that the cooking course is a bit further away from the City center. I quite enjoyed walking around in Setagaya which is quite cozy compared to busy Shibuya, Shinjuk etc. All in all a lovely and educational experience which also was very authentic as we did cook in Yukas cozy home kitchen!

Reina was an excellent guide, very informative and friendly!

Excellent tofu making class! Marie explained everything well and answered all of my questions. She is very kind and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the making procees, I learned a lot, and the tofu turned out really tasty. Highly recommended! Thank you Marie for a wonderful and memorable experience.

Thank you so much for hosting us We had so much fun and learned alot Amelia & Zipi

The class was amazing, we had an amazing time learning about traditional Japanese food and how to make it. Sayaka, the instructor, was absolutely lovely, kind and talented. She also gave us a lot of great tips. 10/10, highly recommended.

We totally recommend Morimi's lessons! She is very nice and the lessons very interesting, and the dishes so tasty!

The Ramen Tasting experience was absolutely amazing. Our hostess Mitsuyo was lovely. She explained the process for making the ramen; we were able to taste the individual components along the way. Then we moved to the counter to be served a bowl of the signature ramen. Best ramen ever! This experience was fantastic and a must do for any ramen lover.

This experience was made super special by these wonderful and open-minded hosts! The chef is a very patient teacher, bringing you closer to the Japanese cuisine in a funny and heartfelt way. His wife is incredibly kind and forthcoming as well. We had the feeling we were cooking with our dear friends. The food was exceptionally delicious - one could feel the experience of the chef in every single bite. The beautiful notes we received when leaving will forever remind us of this incredible evening. It was an honor to be welcomed in their home! 10/10 would do it again immediately, just to be with such friendly people again. P.S.: We will be back for the massage chair anyways.

We had a wonderful time at this tea ceremony, led by Hiromi Fujiwara together with Eclat, and two of her lovely colleagues. From the moment we arrived it felt personal rather than touristy. Before the ceremony, they gave us a tour of the house and shared its history, including old photos of the family who owned it and the story of their brewing heritage. It gave real context to everything that followed. The ceremony itself was beautifully done. We went through each stage: waiting, purifying ourselves much like at a Buddhist temple, and then the ceremony. We were served sake beforehand, and sweets both before and during. Hiromi and her team explained every step clearly and guided us so we could take part rather than just watch, which made it much more meaningful. Afterwards we could choose an additional activity. We all picked calligraphy, and it was a lot of fun. Throughout, there was time to chat and get to know our hosts, who were kind and welcoming. As a final touch, they gave us our calligraphy to take home, along with matcha powder in a lovely box. A thoughtful, hands-on introduction to Japanese tea culture. Highly recommended!

This experience and the host, Junko, were amazing! She catered the experience to my interests in local produce and we had a great time picking up local sweets, buying local produce for our meal (as well as some fun fruits I wanted to try) and had an overall amazing time! I’m so happy with what I learned making noodles from scratch, ramen, and mochi! They were all relatively easy and quick to make and it was so fun to do, I can’t wait to try my newly acquired skills and the recipes at home! Thank you so much Junko and I couldn’t recommend this experience more for anyone looking to learn new skills and experience a lovely time cooking and learning!

This was such an amazing experience for me! Tomokita is truly lovely and opens her heart and home to teach you how to cook. She is incredibly patient and guides you through the whole process, making you feel comfortable and welcome from start to finish. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tokyo. Thank you, Tomokita, for making my time in Tokyo even more special!
