豆腐 食の体験

Bruce is delightful and a font of knowledge! The food was delicious and plentiful, and it was a fun and entertaining evening. The only reason I have dropped a star is the cost. I think it is a pricy food tour, having done many in various cities around the world. This shouldn’t discourage you from experiencing Bruce’s experience and conversation, and the delicious tatami food, if you are happy paying this price.

We had a very educational and fun time learning to make tofu with Marie. She is a patient teacher and it’s very clear she has a lot of experience! Would highly recommend.

Bruce was amazing. So knowledgeable and friendly. We did a tour with him on our first night in Japan and it was like going out to dinner with a friend. A great experience. I would highly recommend

Midori sensei is a wonderful host! I learned the key facts about Tonkatsu and can't wait to try it at home. The instructions were so helpful: Many thanks again for the great evening! I really recommend this cooking class if you would like to learn about a dish that is also super popular in Japan just as Ramen! 😃

Unforgettable night of yatai hopping with Bruce! ★★★★★ Our yatai food hopping tour was a highlight of our time in Fukuoka. Our guide Bruce was fantastic: relaxed, knowledgeable and clearly well connected with the stall owners. We started at a yatai run by a chef who's been cooking there with his wife for 35 years, now joined by their son. We had a comforting winter dashi broth, gooey bacon-wrapped rice cakes grilled to perfection (I could have eaten twenty), and noodles tossed on the grill plate and topped with bonito flakes. At our second stall we had our first ramen in Japan, lighter and cleaner than at home, paired with a citrus and honey beer, plus pork belly and chicken yakitori, a surprisingly tender, spicy beef tendon stew and hand-made gyoza. We even ended up chatting with some lovely locals sitting across from us. Bruce thought of everything, finishing the night by dropping us at the Ritz-Carlton rooftop bar and arranging our taxi home. Great food, great company and a real taste of local life. Highly recommend!

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!

We had such a great evening with Bruce! He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so much interesting information throughout the tour, while also sharing his own experiences and stories, which made everything feel much more personal. Bruce took us to three different Yatai spots, explaining the places, the food, and the culture along the way. The food he chose for us was amazing, and we really enjoyed every stop. We could have happily continued to more places, but unfortunately we weren’t feeling well enough to keep going. Beyond his knowledge, Bruce is simply a genuinely nice and fun person to spend an evening with. The whole experience felt relaxed, friendly, and authentic. We would absolutely recommend Bruce to anyone looking for a Yatai tour specialist in Fukuoka. We had a fantastic time and would happily come back for a follow-up tour with him next time!

The hosts explained everything really well and put a lot of effort in the workshop, the food was amazing too, I recommend 100%!

Lovely and educational Experience I booked the Vegan Shojin Ryori Buddhist Cuisine Cooking Class because I was interested in something different than Sushi, Ramen or Gyoza which many people offer in Tokyo. I am very glad I did because I could spent a few hours with Yuka who is an excellent host and teacher! I learned quite a lot about Shojin Ryori as we cooked a handful of dishes together. Especially the Sesame Tofu is something I can now do with confidence at home! As I also booked the trip to the supermarket with Yuka she could show me all the ingredients needed for the dishes we did prepare together. Not to mention I brought many of those home with me! I also would like to mention that Yuka’s English is very good and I quite enjoyed spending the time with her as she can teach you a lot and has many stories to tell. Also do not be afraid that the cooking course is a bit further away from the City center. I quite enjoyed walking around in Setagaya which is quite cozy compared to busy Shibuya, Shinjuk etc. All in all a lovely and educational experience which also was very authentic as we did cook in Yukas cozy home kitchen!

Excellent tofu making class! Marie explained everything well and answered all of my questions. She is very kind and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the making procees, I learned a lot, and the tofu turned out really tasty. Highly recommended! Thank you Marie for a wonderful and memorable experience.

We totally recommend Morimi's lessons! She is very nice and the lessons very interesting, and the dishes so tasty!

It was a wonderful lesson! Everything was delicious, and the two instructors were fantastic. I really hope the instructor who is about to turn 95 lives a long, healthy life.
