Japan Food Experiences

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! 😃

Had such a fun time here! Could not recommend it more. Maybe I'll do it again another time! It's a wonderful place, with such friendly and happy staff, and interesting and delicious food! Thank you!

Enjoyed a fun experience with Ryo trying some food combinations from different convenience stores. Ryo provided lots of information about the different stores and how people use them. It definitely gives you the confidence to use konbinis and know where to buy different items. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your fantastic welcome! Everyone had an amazing experience and loved the delicious ramen. Thank you again for all your help!

Have you been eating ramen all of your life and not have a clue how it’s made? If so, I highly recommend signing up and learning all about ramen. The class was both fascinating and informative. Our guide (and store manager) Mitsuyo, gave us a great behind-the-scenes presentation of how they make their Michelin awarded ramen (without giving away any trade secrets, of course). I would have never imagined how much thought and creativity went into what seems like a humble bowl of noodles. They are obsessed with making the best bowl of ramen on planet Earth.

An absolute 10/10 experience! The Japanese cooking class was incredible, the food was delicious, and the hosts gave us such a warm and pleasant welcome. Highly recommended!

Super fun class. Very hands on experience and the instructors were very fun. They made the experience enjoyable and went through the process step by step. And the ramen and gyoza were both really good. All four of us in our party left very full. Definitely recommend this class.

Few experiences I’ve had in my life have been as exceptional from start to finish as this one. Our guide was an absolute treasure trove of knowledge, sharing fascinating insights into Kyoto’s food culture, traditions, and craftsmanship. Each stop offered an intimate, often private experience that went far beyond simply tasting products. We learned the stories behind them and gained a genuine appreciation for the care and skill that go into making them. The ponzu experience was a particular standout, as we each had the opportunity to create our own custom blend. What made the experience truly special was how every stop built upon the last, with us collecting ingredients along the way for a crescendo of a finale at the bar, where each ingredient came together and shone in its own right. It was thoughtful, immersive, and absolutely delicious. Of all the experiences we had during our 15 days in Japan, this was one of the defining highlights. If you’re visiting Kyoto, do yourself a favor and book this experience. You’d be doing yourself a disservice to miss it.

This experience was amazing! Mitsuyo was an excellent teacher, leading us through how really great ramen is made. We sampled all the key components individually, before enjoying the final product brought to life by their chefs. Simply the best ramen I have ever tasted! If you are a foodie or you just love ramen, you will enjoy this tour!

This was a wonderful experience. The opportunity to go behind the scenes of a place like Toyosu, where normal tourists cannot go and see the fish is awesome. Paco and Alessio were wonderful, knowledgeable, and more than willing to answer any questions we had. The meal after was phenomenal fresh and made the fish the star of the show. Highly recommend

Amazing, the best experience had in Japan. Worth the price.

I had an absolutely wonderful time cooking okonomiyaki with my partner and the amazing sensei who helped us through it all. She walked us through all the steps and made sure we got through without a hitch. All while making us feel at home and talking to us about every little thing! She is so gentle and patient, such a comfortable atmosphere. In the end everything ended up tasting delicious! 10/10 would recommend.
