Aki's cooking class was an unforgettable experience for my wife and me. Aki wasn't just a cooking teacher, she felt like a friend. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and homely, making us feel instantly welcomed. Her expert guidance and friendly demeanor transformed the cooking process into a delightful adventure. We particularly loved preparing yuzu-flavored fried chicken and learning about local customs. We are still in touch with Aki, sharing our culinary adventures. This experience not only enriched our cooking skills but also deepened our appreciation for Japanese culture. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto!

What a blast this class was for our family! We all had a chance to do everything and our instructors were charming, spoke English well and I wish I could remember their names! They made a great team! Our ramen lunch was the best one I’ve had yet - yes, the noodles were perfect but the broth was delicious! No Ramen, No Life! 👍👍 Thank you!

Food Tours

Few places in the world, if any, can claim gastronomic heritage on par with Kyoto. The historic capital of Japan is the spiritual home of washoku — the traditional Japanese cuisine which is listed as a treasure of world cultural heritage. It was also on these streets, trodden by merchants and samurai, that kaiseki dining and its cousin, the meditative Japanese tea ceremony, flourished.

This world of edible wonders has enough to discover for three lifetimes, so if you’re planning on getting involved, you might struggle to work out where to start. These Kyoto food experiences with byFood cut out all of the confusion, and take you right to the heart of the local culinary culture with the help of an expert local guide.

Whether you want to go drinking in the chic standing bars of Pontocho Alley, learn to brew tea like a true master, get the lowdown on all the street food in Nishiki Market, or add some traditional Japanese dishes to your cooking repertoire, you’ll find a food experience in Kyoto to suit your needs and budget. Itadakimasu!
