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!

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!

I greatly enjoyed my cooking class with Nariko-sensei. She explained every step well and shared tips along the way. Thanks to her explanation of the ingredients, I am sure I can find the right ingredients in my home country to cook Gyoza and Ramen.
As I was the only student that day, we cooked and converse together comfortably in English and Japanese while cooking.
The location of her class is very conveniently close to a subway station in Kyoto city.
I would book one of Nariko-sensei's cooking classes again to learn more dishes of Japanese cuisine.

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.

We were two adults and three children, one glutenfree option. Very nice authentic experience. Since my children may not desire all of the Japanese flavours, they could choose their ingredients to make the onigiri of their choice. Midori-San is a very helpful and kind person and gave as many recommendations for Kyoto as well. Highly recommended.

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!

Lot’s of fun, and the food was tasty.
Nariko’s class was well organized (7 people in the class). I may never become a professional dumpling maker, but I’m going to give it a try when I get home.

This class was wonderful. Our instructor was really good and very organized/prepared for us. It was in her apartment so it was very private. The Gyoza we made was as good as what we had at restaurants! We have a terrific time and now will have a bit of Japan that we can recreate anytime! Would definitely recommend!

We had our best time in Kyoto with Midori. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. We learned so many things from Midori and we spent some very nice time together. She is a force of nature and super fun! And on top of this, the food we prepared was super tasty! Absolutely recommended!
