Cooking with Michiko was so much fun! We loved making ramen from scratch, as well as learning how to make the broth and prepare the pork belly. Additionally we prepared our own gyoza, it was great. I am a vegetarian and Michiko managed to adapt everything for me, while maintaining the Tonkatsu Ramen for the rest of my family. To make it just perfect, the end result was delicious! My family would definitely recommend the cooking experience with Michiko, and we are looking forward to trying the recipes at home again!

What a wonderful experience! Everything was clearly explained and conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment. It was a real learning experience, and you got to eat your handiwork when you were finished. The host explained and demonstrated everything first and then let's you do it on your own. Very authentic and highly recommended!

We really enjoyed the cooking class with Michi and Aki. They are really friendly and explained very well what we needed to do. We cooked yummy crispy gyoza and sushi rolls that we then ate with a miso soup. The kitchen is a central location, easy to find and very cozy. We had a great time with my daughter !

My friend and I LOVED this cooking class. It was our 2nd/3rd time to Kyoto so adding in cooking classes was a great, unique experience since we didn't have all the temples and bamboo forest on the agenda for this visit. Their English is FANTASTIC so really easy to understand and follow along. They prepare a lot of the measuring and things so you really focus on the cooking part of it and you can get to eat your creations throughout. You also walk away with all the recipes and you can even buy some of the Japanese specific cooking supplies there if you need (grating plate, sesame grinding bowl, etc.) Everything was delicious and I am excited to replicate these recipes at home and maybe turn them into my lunch bentos for work! Definitely add this to your trip itinerary! I would totally take it again if the menu changed over time.
