She is a lovely woman who shows her Passion for the Japanse cuisine with you and helps you out with all your questions, you get invited into her home for a true feast of Japanse food that you will love. I'm definitly going to try out some of the recipes she gave us to try and infuse them in a western-style cooking. Thank you Marie dor the experience it was a lot of Fun!

Great experience! Thanks tò our teacher Momo, she shared with us her passion about the culture of rice in Japan, and It was really interesting. Highly recommended!!🍙

Bruce was great nice food and introduction to Nakasu Tenjin area

I really enjoyed it! It was an easy-to-make hand-rolled sushi bento. Both the side dishes and the dessert were delicious!

Fantastic time. Was one of the main reasons for coming to Fukuoka and was not disappointed.

It was a delicious and enjoyable experience! It’s great to experience Japan’s rice culture, too.

Super Great time with Bruce, he ensured the evening stayed joyful, fun and engaging! It was not awkward and he was insightful, friendly and made us feel so welcomed! His warm and knowledgable approach made the food tour amazing for my family and I. Take note, I had 3 elderly and 5 adults! He managed it all with grace and poise and I thank you again for an evening to remember, SEE YOU AGAIN BRUCE! thank you

What a wonderful food tour! Gil, our guide had deep knowledge of all the hidden gems, stories of the locations and the food and people were great! Would highly recommend Gil and byfood for the wonderful experience!

A great session with Takako, learning about Japanese home cooking and the benefits for fermented foods. Tasted koji, kombu, mirin and a variety of soy sauces. Takako then made some healthy and delicious dishes, which was a good change from some heavier restaurant meals. The recipes were also provided! Would definitely recommend.

This experience takes place in the original restaurant from Edo times that is 15 generations old! You become a part of history and here, they treat you like family! The owner, who was also our host, greeted us and explained to us the history behind the restaurant and his family. We were his first foreign guests and he admitted he was excited and a little bit nervous. It was comforting to know we weren't alone in feeling that way which immediately put our nerves at ease. We were then introduced to our instructor, Meguka (I could be wrong about the spelling). She spoke a little english and taught the class primarily in english. She was patient, kind and attentive. The dishes that were served during the experience were generous. Everything was sourced locally and each dish was made from some form of the yam (tororo) which was what the experience was centered around. Everything was delicious and nothing like we've ever eaten before. We were served hot, green tea with our meal and at the end, they served ice cream that is handmade in the restaurant. I chose the miso flavor and it was exquisite! You will not leave this experience hungry. We left with our bellies and hearts full! We loved it and will definitely be booking more experiences like this next time we go back to Japan.

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 the absolute pleasure of attending the fermentation class today! It was incredibly eye-opening to see how knowledge of miso and other traditional elements can be beautifully applied to everyday cooking. From appetizers and mains to desserts, I was truly amazed by the versatility of these fermented ingredients. The instructor was exceptionally patient and attentive, taking the time to answer all of my questions with great care. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to elevate their culinary journey and experience the true magic of fermentation!
