Kaiseki Food Experiences

"We would also like to thank you again very much, dear Miho-san, for this first glimpse into Japanese cuisine and culture. Your friendly, calm and humorous manner was very pleasant. Thank you also for your patience in answering all our questions. Many of the foods and their preparation that you showed us were completely new to us- but we found that very interesting. You had prepared so much for us- I personally quickly lost my fear of embarrassing myself. Thank you so much for that, Miho-san! Your cooking class was a wonderful day for us, one that we will always remember." (It`s a translation from german to english by Google) Marjana, Tino and Martin Gedlich

We enjoyed a great time and a wonderful meal. Thank you for teaching us preparing a bento box, with all fresh ingredients.

Bruce H. was a great guide for a newcomer to Fukuoka. Best tempura I had during my whole trip! Bruce was interested in explaining life in Japan and answering every little question. Walking the streets of the city was fun with someone so knowledgeable. His tour made for a really nice afternoon.

It was great

Had a great time at this bento-making class! Miho was super nice and helpful, guiding us through tasty and beautifully arranged bentos. Super fun, hands-on, and beginner-friendly. Highly recommend for a unique food experience!

This was a great experience and well worth the 30 minute train journey from central Tokyo. We were met at the station and shown around the local food market before we went to cook. She had some pre-prepared items which required pickling or seasoning for a few days, so that we could have the full bento box making experience. It was an exceptional lesson, with some good information about the history of bento including as a side. Overall, it was a friendly, communal cooling experience, with some excellent food.

I had the pleasure of joining the Kyoto Kimono Experience, which included a beautiful kimono rental, a limousine ride, and an exquisite kaiseki meal. The entire experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto. The kimono shop, located near Kyoto Station, offered a great variety. With help from the friendly staff, I chose a vibrant yellow kimono, while my friend opted for a striking black one. They provided accessories, geta sandals, and ensured my kimono was comfortably tied. I felt stunning and ready for the day! Our driver and guide were welcoming, helping us pose with props like a katana and umbrella. The drive to the restaurant was about 25 minutes, relaxed, and full of photo opportunities. At the restaurant, we were warmly greeted and led to a beautiful Japanese-style room. The kaiseki meal was delicious, featuring some of the best sushi I’ve tasted. Portions were light, as they accompany a tea ceremony, and the chef’s greeting added a special touch. Overall, the Kyoto Kimono Experience, Kaiseki Dining & Limousine Ride was truly memorable. The friendly staff, lovely kimonos, and incredible food made it an unforgettable day. This is a luxurious and immersive way to enjoy Japanese culture!

The tour was a wonderful experience. From start to finish, every detail was taken care of, and the immersion into Japanese culture was amazingly well executed. Whether at the Kimono house or the Traditional restaurant, the staff made us feel like special guests, making the experience completely worthwhile. I really enjoyed myself and highly recommend the tour.

Miho sensei was very kind and friendly, she explained the steps carefully so we all understand. I will definitely take class with her again.

Great experience. Made new friends, learned how to cook traditional (and yummy) Japanese dishes, and got to explore a super cute neighborhood (highly recommend spending some time after to poke around!).

With a group of three people we had a great time with our host Miho san. She has great experience teaching Japanese cuisine to foreigners and was very welcoming. She speaks fluently English and even German which I personally enjoyed. Making bento in a short time is quite challenging as there are many different dishes to be placed in the bento box and preparing all of them takes time. Luckily Miho was well prepared, so we managed to create a nice bento box for everyone. Everything tasted great and I would love to go again.

This tour was absolutely wonderful because of our particular guide, Sae. She developed a great spirit amongst the participants and educated us all in a gentle manner. We had a terrific time.
