京都 グルテンフリー 料理教室

A definite highlight of our trip to Japan. From the moment we walked in, Midori-san showed us great hospitality by serving us tea and sweets. She is very friendly and lively, and we felt right at home. She asked about our itinerary and gave us detailed recommendations. This was close to the end of our Japan trip, but I'd strongly recommend booking this near the start so you can benefit most from her suggestions! The cooking class was great and Midori-san was very patient and clear in her instructions. We made vegan onigiri, gyoza and ramen. The onigiri was surprisingly simple to make and we also received printouts of the recipe. After only being back in the US for a few days, I have already made onigiri for lunch. The gyoza and ramen were equally delicious. Make sure to come with an empty stomach! After we finished the food, she even walked us to a nearby supermarket so we could pick up the ingredients to make them at home. Overall, Midori-san went above and beyond to make this a great experience for us. There are of course many things to do in Kyoto, but as a tourist it's rare to be able to have an experience like this where you are welcomed inside a local's home. I strongly recommend this class.

This might easily have been my favorite activity of our Japanese trip! The host was absolutely wonderful, very friendly and easy to talk to. She clearly explained everything we needed to do to cook our meal. The meal was the best food we have had in Japan thus far! I highly recommend!

One of the highlights of our trip. Midori is very well informed and likes to share knowledge about the food and culture. She gives shopping tips not only for food items but also for other hobby-related stuff like knitting or sawing. She even took us to a local supermarket to show what products are available and where to get them. Because Midori prepared the easy stuff in advance the cooking class was able to cover 3 whole recipes with a lot of background info. We should have done the class in the beginning of our trip because of all the good tips. We wish Midori all the best!

Cooking with Aki was like spending the day with a treasured friend. We immediately felt a kinship with this welcoming and talented chef, who shared with us delicious local recipes passed down from her mother and grandmother, and traditional culinary techniques. We didn’t want the day to end! We can highly recommend Aki’s workshop to anyone curious to learn about authentic Japanese cuisine, regardless of their cooking skill level.

Loved the cooking class with Midori. I am gluten intolerant, not coeliac, she was able to accommodate and made sure all food was safe. We made onigiri, gyoza and katsudon, everything was delicious! Midori San is a great host and we had a lovely chat about a lot of things including Japanese cuisine and places to visit in or around Kyoto. I can definitely recommend!

This is a very enriching and culturally rich cooking course. I learned a lot about the principles of miso and fermentation. I highly recommend it to tourists visiting Kyoto.

We had a wonderful experience—Aki put all of us at ease, and she is a very talented cook and teacher. She had everything organized, and we were able to cook 4 delicious dishes which tasted better than restaurant food. Learning to cook in her lovely home was a real treat, and we highly recommend it!

Aki-san was an exceptionally warm and welcoming host and a very patient teacher. The class takes place in her home so there is a very homely and relaxed atmosphere. She managed to adapt her unique recipes to our group and walked us through each step. The experience was a highlight of our trip and we will definitely try to replicate her recipes at home.

Midori and the class were amazing! We had such a great time learning how to cook traditional Japanese foods and about the Japanese culture. Midori was not just helpful with cooking skills; also so helpful recommending places to visit and experience during our time in Japan. We had a fun time and the food we made was delicious! Highly recommend Midori’s Kyoto Kitchen cooking class. Thank you, Midori! Arigato gozaimasu!

it was fantastic. the instructor 'Midori' is so kind, professional and sweet. she has a lovely Japanese traditional house, and we could enjoy the feeling of Japan. Her food is clean, delicious and so easy to make. thank you so much Midori and see you next time :)

Hosted in Midoris welcoming Kyoto home - we learned to make Onigiri, Ramen, and Gyoza. It was easy to get there by bus, and we were honestly shocked at how easy, tasty, and beautiful the gyoza turned out. Throughout the session, Midori kept us refreshed with plenty of tea while we bonded over our shared love for cats and chatted about our travel plans. She was incredibly helpful, offering local insights about Kyoto and the rest of Japan. Midori is a warm, insightful host who makes Japanese vegan cuisine feel accessible and fun. After the class, we added several new items to our Japan shopping list to look for at the supermarket to take back home. You will definitely leave her home with a full stomach and wonderful memories.

What a fantastic experience! Not only did the sushi we made look good, but the flavor was delicious! It was so much fun walking through the market and gathering ingredients and then learning create edible works of art. Ayumi was so kind, patient and knowledgeable. She was such a pleasure to spend time with! Thank you so much! It was a perfect evening, thank you!
