We had a great time. Family of 4 with two young girls, 8 and 10. The host was super friendly and shared a lot about the Japanese culture. We felt very comfortable chatting and asking her questions. The food was delicious! My girls and us had a great time. I highly recommend

Cooking Class in Kyoto (Katsu Curry, Tamagoyaki & Miso Soup)
Cooking Classes
Very knowledgeable and kind guides. The kitchen was easy to find from the station. The food was amazing and allowed for me to understand the basics in a Japanese kitchen setting. I’ve made the salmon from the recipes almost every night since I’ve been home. Japanese food is easy to make and healthy! I’m very excited this type of activity was available!

Wonderful experience!
We booked a sushi making class for 2 (private), and had a wonderful time.
We got invited into the home of Saeko, the chef who taught us, and saw a side of sushi making we hadn’t before.
Saeko taught us how to make two different types of rolls, nigiri, miso soup and tamagoyaki. We learned every part of making the rolls, from preparing the ingredients and cutting the fish to fill the rolls and rolling them. Throughout the lesson she was very professional, and made sure to explain every little process, so we could do it ourselves.
The class was through and through exceptional, and we will be recommending it to all of our friends and family.
Definitely a 10/10 experience!!
