Teishoku Experiencias Gastronómicas

A really fun evening. The food is great and the sumo show is very entertaining.

This experience takes place in the original restaurant from Edo times that is 15 generations old! You become a part of history and here, they treat you like family! The owner, who was also our host, greeted us and explained to us the history behind the restaurant and his family. We were his first foreign guests and he admitted he was excited and a little bit nervous. It was comforting to know we weren't alone in feeling that way which immediately put our nerves at ease. We were then introduced to our instructor, Meguka (I could be wrong about the spelling). She spoke a little english and taught the class primarily in english. She was patient, kind and attentive. The dishes that were served during the experience were generous. Everything was sourced locally and each dish was made from some form of the yam (tororo) which was what the experience was centered around. Everything was delicious and nothing like we've ever eaten before. We were served hot, green tea with our meal and at the end, they served ice cream that is handmade in the restaurant. I chose the miso flavor and it was exquisite! You will not leave this experience hungry. We left with our bellies and hearts full! We loved it and will definitely be booking more experiences like this next time we go back to Japan.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the fermentation class today! It was incredibly eye-opening to see how knowledge of miso and other traditional elements can be beautifully applied to everyday cooking. From appetizers and mains to desserts, I was truly amazed by the versatility of these fermented ingredients. The instructor was exceptionally patient and attentive, taking the time to answer all of my questions with great care. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to elevate their culinary journey and experience the true magic of fermentation!

Loved the cooking class with Midori. I am gluten intolerant, not coeliac, she was able to accommodate and made sure all food was safe. We made onigiri, gyoza and katsudon, everything was delicious! Midori San is a great host and we had a lovely chat about a lot of things including Japanese cuisine and places to visit in or around Kyoto. I can definitely recommend!

Interesting experience. Really enjoyed the first part, not a big fan of watching the challengers, but i understand where it's coming from. We left shortly after the challengers. The food was above expectations (compared with other similar experiences in Tokyo).

We had such a great time! I highly recommend booking. The classroom/kitchen was easy to find & not only will you eat yummy food but you will also taste all the different Japanese ingredients. Yuka & Pinky are a great team. Plus Yuka went out of her way to make this class extra special. Thank you!❤️❤️❤️

Very much enjoyed our class Very personal with only 4 participants The chef and her assistant were knowledgable and gracious Great experience

A calm, hands-on experience that connects food with regional history. Learning about tororo-jiru while making it ourselves felt meaningful and authentic. A short visual intro about its history would enhance the experience.

Making tororo-jiru by hand at this historic post town was an unforgettable experience. Grating yam using traditional tools gave me a real appreciation for how much care goes into this simple-looking dish. The guide was warm, open, and spoke excellent English, making the history and process easy to understand. Knowing this dish has been served here for centuries added depth to the meal. This is a rare opportunity to experience a beloved local food that many foreigners—and even Japanese—don’t know well.

We had the best time making onigiris, must have experience!

Everything perfect, sumo wrestler were very funny, kind with people, but also very professional when fighting each others and when they explained rules. That was an amazing experience for me, I would recommend it hundred times! Also food was good, but yes, the show is the main event!

Really fun and unique experience for the whole family! Solo travelers, parents, and kids alike can have a memorable experience by wrestling the sumo wrestlers. And the food is great too!
