My Mom and I did this mochi making class and loved it!! Miho was very kind and professional. We enjoyed listening about the history of mochi as well as making our own and tasting it. There was fine attention to detail and Miho made us feel right at home. The space was cozy, the mochi was delicious - I would definitely recommend!!

It was a very enjoyable experience! Although it’s in my neighborhood, I got to tour a noodle factory that I normally wouldn’t have a chance to see, and I made my own noodles by choosing the dough and the cutting blade I liked. It was a very interesting and valuable experience. After that, we moved to Akiko-san’s home, where we started by preparing the filling for the gyoza, wrapping them, and then cooking them with crispy wings, just like in a restaurant! The salad with fried baby sardines and mizuna was also exceptional. We then boiled our own ramen noodles, added various toppings, and enjoyed a luxurious bowl of rich, tonkotsu-style ramen! To finish, we made matcha shiratama cream anmitsu, which was a perfect course. There were no foreign participants this time, but this has inspired me to study English, and I hope to interact with international guests next time. Thank you for the wonderful time!
