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 90...read more

Thank you very much for joining our workshop! We're so happy to hear that, although you were a little unsure at first, you both ended up having such a wonderful time. It means a lot to us to know that the experience gave you memories to laugh about together—that's exactly what we hope to create for our guests. We will continue to offer experiences that people of all ages can enjoy, from children to adults. The next time you visit Kyoto, we hope you'll try one of our other workshops as well. We look forward to welcoming you back again!

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!

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