Gluten-free Food Experiences(145)

My wife and I had a truly amazing experience with Yuka who guided us in English through cooking some traditional Japanese food. We're definitely going to take these skills home with us and recommend this experience to anyone even slightly interested cooking Japanese food.

Our class on Japanese sweets was an exceptional journey. The teachers expertly guided us through the history and techniques of making mochi, dango, and nerikiri. Their passion for their craft was evident as they took the time to ensure everyone understood each step, accommodating my non-English speaking mom beautifully. It was much more than just a cooking class; it was a cultural immersion that brought our family together in a very special way. Crafting these sweets was a delight. Each creation was not only delicious but visually stunning. The instructors' dedication to detail and their warm, engaging teaching style made the whole experience enjoyable. We not only learned how to make these sweets but also gained an appreciation for the culture and traditions behind them. This class was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring a unique culinary art and spending a meaningful day with loved ones. It's a perfect blend of education, hands-on fun, and cultural appreciation.

Yuki was our guide at the fish markets today, and provided a wealth of history of the area and local market. We enjoyed the different shops and tasting the food, and topped it off with the best sake we have ever tasted!! Dee & Michael..

It was such a treat for us to be welcomed into Kaori’s home and to cook in her kitchen. Kaori’s English is really good and she explained everything to us very clearly. Of course we enjoyed eating the dishes too ! She has sent us photos and recipes which we will definitely be cooking when we get back home in Australia. The food was great, the company was lovely, so overall it was a lovely time spent in Tokyo. Thank you very much Kaori for sharing with us some vegan Japanese dishes. Sue and Dave from Australia..

Brilliant! Such a great experience. Japan isn't the most vegan friendly place, but this class offered both vegan and vegetarian options, which put my partner and me at ease. The class was very informative, and is suitable for all abilities as the host clearly explains each step in turn. Heads up if you are vegetarian and vegan, there is a point in the demonstration where steamed fish is passed around the group, but of course you don't need to hold it. I'd thoroughly recommend this class particularly to couples, it's a great bonding exercise. If you go alone you will be paired up with another person so you can help each other along the way.
