We thoroughly enjoyed the miso making class. Sae-san and the others were so welcoming and knowledgable. They explained everything in detail and loved the "hands on" class for both of us. After we made the miso, we loved being offered to taste different misos and the amakaze. They served us miso soup so that we could tast 2 of the different types of miso. It was interesting how differrent they all tasted. We also both loved the hojicha and match flavors of amakaze and the rice cookies were delicious. It was a cute shop and will definitely go back for a visit the next time we are in Tokyo. Can't wait to make some miso at home! We need to keep the Japanese traditions going. Highly recommend this class. Five stars!

I mostly enjoyed the Miso Making workshop and everyone there was absolutely lovely. However our teacher was more of a translator than knowledgeable in the art of Miso making and so questions slightly above surface level where hard to get an answer to. Fortunately part of the workshop is an Amazake taste test and that washed all of my frustrations away.
