Experience Details

Step into the colorful world of kawaii in the heart of Tokyo with this fun and hands-on bento-making class! Guided by an expert host, you’ll learn the secrets of crafting photogenic character bentos, Japan’s beloved lunchboxes that combine flavor with creativity.


Choose from three cute designs: a playful Panda Bento, a cuddly Brown Bear Bento, or a seasonal creation inspired by Japanese culture. No cooking experience is required as your host will provide step-by-step guidance and all the tools and ingredients you need.


This experience isn’t just about cooking; it’s about immersing yourself in Japanese food culture. Begin with an introduction to the history and charm of bentos, then roll up your sleeves to design your own edible masterpiece. After crafting, enjoy a mini photography session to capture your kawaii creation before tasting your handmade lunchbox.


Located conveniently near Tokyo Station, Shibuya, and Asakusa, this indoor workshop is perfect rain or shine. You can also take advantage of limited-time add-ons: a side dish prep session or a short Akasaka walking tour. With vegan, vegetarian, and allergy-friendly options available, everyone can join the fun.


Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or flying solo, this class is a delightful way to experience Japanese cooking, creativity, and kawaii culture all at once!
