Our cooking class with Midori was absolutely fantastic and a truly unique experience! She was so warm and welcoming and took care of all our wishes. We learned so much about Japanese cooking, had a wonderful time in her kitchen, and the food was delicious. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Kyoto. Thank you so much, Midori! Arigato from both of us! ❤️

Midori sensei is a wonderful host! I learned the key facts about Tonkatsu and can't wait to try it at home. The instructions were so helpful: Many thanks again for the great evening!
I really recommend this cooking class if you would like to learn about a dish that is also super popular in Japan just as Ramen! 😃

This experience was worth it, we learned some new things about different kinds of soy sauce, Music products and vinegar. You can bring it into real practise while you make your own dinner with real hands-on tips and tricks from Marie! She is a lovely woman who shows her Passion for the Japanse cuisine with you and helps you out with all your questions, you get invited into her home for a true feast of Japanse food that you will love. I'm definitly going to try out some of the recipes she gave us to try and infuse them in a western-style cooking.
Thank you Marie dor the experience it was a lot of Fun!

A definite highlight of our trip to Japan. From the moment we walked in, Midori-san showed us great hospitality by serving us tea and sweets. She is very friendly and lively, and we felt right at home. She asked about our itinerary and gave us detailed recommendations. This was close to the end of our Japan trip, but I'd strongly recommend booking this near the start so you can benefit most from her suggestions!
The cooking class was great and Midori-san was very patient and clear in her instructions. We made vegan onigiri, gyoza and ramen. The onigiri was surprisingly simple to make and we also received printouts of the recipe. After only being back in the US for a few days, I have already made onigiri for lunch. The gyoza and ramen were equally delicious. Make sure to come with an empty stomach! After we finished the food, she even walked us to a nearby supermarket so we could pick up the ingredients to make them at home.
Overall, Midori-san went above and beyond to make this a great experience for us. There are of course many things to do in Kyoto, but as a tourist it's rare to be able to have an experience like this where you are welcomed inside a local's home. I strongly recommend this class.

One of the highlights of our trip. Midori is very well informed and likes to share knowledge about the food and culture. She gives shopping tips not only for food items but also for other hobby-related stuff like knitting or sawing. She even took us to a local supermarket to show what products are available and where to get them. Because Midori prepared the easy stuff in advance the cooking class was able to cover 3 whole recipes with a lot of background info. We should have done the class in the beginning of our trip because of all the good tips. We wish Midori all the best!

Loved the cooking class with Midori. I am gluten intolerant, not coeliac, she was able to accommodate and made sure all food was safe. We made onigiri, gyoza and katsudon, everything was delicious!
Midori San is a great host and we had a lovely chat about a lot of things including Japanese cuisine and places to visit in or around Kyoto. I can definitely recommend!

Midori and the class were amazing! We had such a great time learning how to cook traditional Japanese foods and about the Japanese culture. Midori was not just helpful with cooking skills; also so helpful recommending places to visit and experience during our time in Japan. We had a fun time and the food we made was delicious! Highly recommend Midori’s Kyoto Kitchen cooking class. Thank you, Midori! Arigato gozaimasu!

Hosted in Midoris welcoming Kyoto home - we learned to make Onigiri, Ramen, and Gyoza. It was easy to get there by bus, and we were honestly shocked at how easy, tasty, and beautiful the gyoza turned out.
Throughout the session, Midori kept us refreshed with plenty of tea while we bonded over our shared love for cats and chatted about our travel plans. She was incredibly helpful, offering local insights about Kyoto and the rest of Japan.
Midori is a warm, insightful host who makes Japanese vegan cuisine feel accessible and fun.
After the class, we added several new items to our Japan shopping list to look for at the supermarket to take back home.
You will definitely leave her home with a full stomach and wonderful memories.
