What a fantastic experience, this was the highlight of our trip to Japan 🇯🇵 . Starting with the warm welcome which we received from Yoshi and the amazing class providing us such clear instructions ending in a wonderful meal. We now have the skills to make ramen 🍜 and gyoza 🥟 when we arrived home!

Yoshi-san and Amo-san are simply great! 2 hours of quiet time and learning how ramen and gyoza are made, in a quiet suburb of Tokyo. We learned a bit of history behind ramen and gyoza while getting the opportunity to make it ourselves. This hands-on experience is great, even for people like me who rarely enjoy cooking.

Our host was very Kind and we had a lot of fun! Accomodation for Vegan and Vegetarian eating were no problem and our host spoke good english, so it was easy to learn not only about cooking but about japanese food in General. Some parts of the meal like the broth were already prepared because they take a long time to make, but our host explained in detail how he did it so that we are now confident that we can try it at home. Thank you so much for the great experience!

I really loved learning to cook with Yoshi and Amo. We felt right at home with them. The food was delicious and the recipies were easy to follow. With this cooking class, you can bring a little of Japan home with you. Don’t hesitate to go. Marielle, Montreal, Canada
