Cooking with Rina was truly fantastic. Her home was perfect for the occasion – cozy, welcoming, and ideal for a culinary experience. Rina explained everything clearly and patiently, demonstrating each step slowly while sharing interesting details about the ingredients, why they are important, and how they benefit our health. In addition to the cooking, she also told us a lot about Okinawa, its culture, and food traditions, which added a special depth to the experience. At the end, we all sat down together and enjoyed everything we had prepared – and it was delicious! Rina is a wonderful and patient teacher who made this experience truly special and unforgettable. We also took home the recipes, which will definitely come in handy. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for more than just a cooking class – this was a real experience! Thanks a lot.

We were so warmly welcomed by Midori, it was truly an amazing experience! Not only did she teach us how to cook some staple Japanese dishes (which were delicious), but she also gave us some really good tips for our trip based on our interests. We definitely recommend this cooking workshop to everyone, it's just so much fun and we really learned a lot. The lovely host Midori made this an experience we will never forget!

In easy steps which you actively participate in the instructors will guide you through making 4 different kinds of Mochi - from savory to sweet to mochi containing fruit. You will learn all the names and ingredients and make and form the mochi yourself. This is not the "pounded" kind of mochi, but rather the sort you mix up rice powder, sugar and water and microwave - yielding a soft edible treat. We had a blast and quite enjoyed it. We actually did this class and a ByFood Wagashi class in the same day and though the ingredients are similar the techniques learned are quite different. Both were fun and informative. Another win for ByFood and Japanese craftsmanship.
