Food Experiences

Super fun class. Very hands on experience and the instructors were very fun. They made the experience enjoyable and went through the process step by step. And the ramen and gyoza were both really good. All four of us in our party left very full. Definitely recommend this class.

Few experiences I’ve had in my life have been as exceptional from start to finish as this one. Our guide was an absolute treasure trove of knowledge, sharing fascinating insights into Kyoto’s food culture, traditions, and craftsmanship. Each stop offered an intimate, often private experience that went far beyond simply tasting products. We learned the stories behind them and gained a genuine appreciation for the care and skill that go into making them. The ponzu experience was a particular standout, as we each had the opportunity to create our own custom blend. What made the experience truly special was how every stop built upon the last, with us collecting ingredients along the way for a crescendo of a finale at the bar, where each ingredient came together and shone in its own right. It was thoughtful, immersive, and absolutely delicious. Of all the experiences we had during our 15 days in Japan, this was one of the defining highlights. If you’re visiting Kyoto, do yourself a favor and book this experience. You’d be doing yourself a disservice to miss it.

This experience was amazing! Mitsuyo was an excellent teacher, leading us through how really great ramen is made. We sampled all the key components individually, before enjoying the final product brought to life by their chefs. Simply the best ramen I have ever tasted! If you are a foodie or you just love ramen, you will enjoy this tour!

This was a wonderful experience. The opportunity to go behind the scenes of a place like Toyosu, where normal tourists cannot go and see the fish is awesome. Paco and Alessio were wonderful, knowledgeable, and more than willing to answer any questions we had. The meal after was phenomenal fresh and made the fish the star of the show. Highly recommend

Amazing, the best experience had in Japan. Worth the price.

I had an absolutely wonderful time cooking okonomiyaki with my partner and the amazing sensei who helped us through it all. She walked us through all the steps and made sure we got through without a hitch. All while making us feel at home and talking to us about every little thing! She is so gentle and patient, such a comfortable atmosphere. In the end everything ended up tasting delicious! 10/10 would recommend.

chihiro and her friend were excellent hosts. They were cheerful, kind and patient, possessing extensive knowledge about ceremonial tea practices while also communicating impressively in english.

Thank you so much for having us!

We loved our Konbini hacks tour with Ryo! He was brilliant with the kids and introduced this side of Japanese food culture so well. The best tour we took all trip!

Delicious food in a warm and welcoming home. The host, Yuka, was so kind and shared her passion and love of cooking in every dish. Highly recommend! And don’t forget to say high to their small bird, Peter!
