Kyoto Clases

Yuka showed us how to cook different Japanese meals. Super clean and organized. We loved it and would come back any time :)Thanks a lot Yuka :)

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.

Brilliant! Very manageable ramen with easy to get ingredients. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Excellent! Timings were great and had a lovely lunch at the end. Catered for gluten free really well so highly recommend for people with allergies etc. We had two female chefs whose English was very good and who taught us all brilliantly by demo and then you copy! Highly recommend 😊

This experience was worth it, we learned some new things about different kinds of soy sauce, Music products and vinegar. You can bring it into real practise while you make your own dinner with real hands-on tips and tricks from Marie! She is a lovely woman who shows her Passion for the Japanse cuisine with you and helps you out with all your questions, you get invited into her home for a true feast of Japanse food that you will love. I'm definitly going to try out some of the recipes she gave us to try and infuse them in a western-style cooking. Thank you Marie dor the experience it was a lot of Fun!

Value for money and lovely experience! We managed to experience making different types of wagashi as well as experience making and drinking matcha while having our Wagashi! This workshop is muslim friendly as they do not contain animal based or alcoholic ingredients. Recommended. Thank you for a lovely 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.

This private tea ceremony was a highlight of our trip to Japan. The house and garden are lovely. The host, Naomi, shared the culture and tradition of the tea ceremony in a manner that was both respectful and accessible to visitors to Japan. We left feeling calm and refreshed. We highly recommend this tea ceremony!

A definite highlight of our trip to Japan. From the moment we walked in, Midori-san showed us great hospitality by serving us tea and sweets. She is very friendly and lively, and we felt right at home. She asked about our itinerary and gave us detailed recommendations. This was close to the end of our Japan trip, but I'd strongly recommend booking this near the start so you can benefit most from her suggestions! The cooking class was great and Midori-san was very patient and clear in her instructions. We made vegan onigiri, gyoza and ramen. The onigiri was surprisingly simple to make and we also received printouts of the recipe. After only being back in the US for a few days, I have already made onigiri for lunch. The gyoza and ramen were equally delicious. Make sure to come with an empty stomach! After we finished the food, she even walked us to a nearby supermarket so we could pick up the ingredients to make them at home. Overall, Midori-san went above and beyond to make this a great experience for us. There are of course many things to do in Kyoto, but as a tourist it's rare to be able to have an experience like this where you are welcomed inside a local's home. I strongly recommend this class.

This might easily have been my favorite activity of our Japanese trip! The host was absolutely wonderful, very friendly and easy to talk to. She clearly explained everything we needed to do to cook our meal. The meal was the best food we have had in Japan thus far! I highly recommend!

Very helpful staff, great experience in the heart of scenic matcha country

One of the highlights of our trip. Midori is very well informed and likes to share knowledge about the food and culture. She gives shopping tips not only for food items but also for other hobby-related stuff like knitting or sawing. She even took us to a local supermarket to show what products are available and where to get them. Because Midori prepared the easy stuff in advance the cooking class was able to cover 3 whole recipes with a lot of background info. We should have done the class in the beginning of our trip because of all the good tips. We wish Midori all the best!
