日本 グルテンフリー 天ぷら 食の体験

Great experience. Chef is so kind and the class is a ton of fun. Food tasted amazing and we learned a lot. High quality fresh ingredients from Japan. Highly recommended!

What a lovely experience making Udon noodles. Chef Chinki was most welcoming and clearly explained every step. She is very passionate about cooking with the best possible fresh ingredients to accompany the udon noodles. Many of them were new to me. Thank you for sharing your skills.

Tomoko greeted us at the door and was very friendly, gracious and kind, despite that we were obviously foreign. We had a group of three and only I spoke a little Japanese . After greeting us, she took us upstairs, had a spot where we could place our belongings and saw that she had already set up three different stations for us. She asked for a group picture first-which we were happy to oblige, asked where we were from and then we jumped right in. All instructions and the entirety of the tour was in Japanese. However, we had no trouble understanding and communicating with each other. If anything, it added more to the experience and surprisingly, made it more enjoyable. There were no awkward silences or moments of confusion. Tomoko took cues from our body language and facial expressions as we did hers and it was a phenomenal experience! Portions were generous and she served cold, refreshing tea that she diligently refilled each time our glasses got close to being empty. Tomoko did everything herself. From setting up the stations to teaching and guiding the tour and breaking down each station while we were enjoying our meals. She was efficient but also attentive to our needs. At the end of our experience, she gifted us with handmade boxes made of obi and tins of ceremonial green tea. She also gave us a bonus item she called "a gift" which was a place mat she made from kimono. We loved our tour with Tomoko and I recommend everyone experience this. You will not regret it!

I had a wonderful time. The explanations were clear and easy to understand. And the instructor had a great personality!

I absolutely loved this experience. The host was so friendly and inviting. Her home was beautiful and she made myself and another guest tea. She spoke through all the ingredients, provided us with a recipe. I felt so at home. Would definitely do another class again!

A very approachable and well-structured experience, even for beginners. Each step—from tempura frying to matcha preparation—was carefully explained, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The use of Shizuoka ingredients throughout clearly highlighted the region’s food culture. Having simple visual instructions in English would make it even easier to follow and recreate at home. Overall, a unique and rewarding local experience.

This experience offered a perfect balance of food, culture, and hands-on learning, all rooted in Shizuoka’s local traditions. Frying sakura shrimp kakiage, making rice balls with local rice and tea leaves, and preparing matcha ourselves made the experience deeply immersive. Every ingredient felt meaningful and truly local. The warm guidance and thoughtful souvenir at the end made it even more memorable. This is a wonderful choice for travelers looking for an authentic, interactive food experience beyond typical sightseeing.

This was a great class. The teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable. she helped explain how to make the udon and also what other ingredients I can substitute when I return to my home country. Udon was delicious, I’m looking forward to making it at home!

We had a wonderful time cooking with Chiaki. She was really careful with our dietary requirements and knowledgeable about food. She is a very engaging chef, and we had a great time and a lovely meal! Would definitely do again.

Wonderful experience! Chiaki is a great host who explained everything very clearly, gave tips for making the dish back home, and was very knowledgeable regarding dietary requirements. Her English is excellent, the food was delicious, and the class is very relaxed. This was such a fun experience for my parents and I, and I highly highly recommend!

This was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed making our own lunch as a family accomodating our need for GF food. Our host was so generous and kind. We were able to get recommendations for other GF places to eat. We are looking forward to cooking our ramen at home.
