Kyoto Talleres

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.

Ive decided to sign up for my son (24) and I (55) to take this. I was afraid it was too childlish but we both ended up enjoying so much. It was easy enough but took some challenges that made us excited to work in fake food making! I was amazed how people came up with all technique and process to make wax food so real. We made a great memory and something to laugh about all evening. We have to stay active and young, to play more. The best part is this is something everyone can do, 5 yrs to 90yrs, I think its the best easy and fun activity! I hope people try this.

Marie was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tea and the fermented food tastings were excellent. She was a pleasure and we had a wonderful time.

From the moment we stepped into the private tea tasting, it felt like entering a completely different world—one defined by calm, care, and an almost reverent appreciation for tea. What truly elevated the entire experience, however, was our teacher. Their depth of knowledge was nothing short of astonishing. Every detail—from the origin of the leaves to the subtle differences in processing methods—was explained with such clarity and passion that it transformed each sip into a story. You could tell this wasn’t just expertise; it was a genuine love for the craft. The tea itself was absolutely exquisite. Each variety we sampled was more nuanced and flavorful than the last, with layers of aroma and taste I had never noticed before. The experience was paired with a thoughtfully prepared selection of food that complemented the teas beautifully. Every bite felt intentional, enhancing the tasting experience and making the whole session feel indulgent without being overwhelming. What surprised me most was just how fun it all was. This wasn’t a stiff or overly formal class—it was engaging, interactive, and filled with moments of delight and discovery. We laughed, asked questions, compared favorites, and left feeling not only more knowledgeable but genuinely inspired. All in all, this private tea tasting was an unforgettable experience and such a unique, enjoyable way to explore the world of tea. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone—even those who think they already know tea.

Good fun for the whole family. The guide spoke some English and explained things well.

I didn’t speak Japanese, but they kindly guided me through a translator. They directly helped with the difficult parts, let me practice several times until my work turned out perfectly, and praised me a lot, which gave me confidence. It was an amazing experience, truly worth every yen. I highly recommend it!

Very informative, casual, and fun!
