Our group had so much fun with Yuka and her associates. All of the prep work was done ahead of time so that we were ready to go when we got there. She took care to make sure it was a positive experience for everyone. While the food was beautiful, it seemed possible to prepare it in a home kitchen as long as you have access to the ingredients. We communicated easily in English. You do a lot of forming the final products, but not as much of the actual cooking, so it is a little less hands on than some classes I have been to in the past. However, I don't think it would be possible to make so many dishes in just 2.5 hours otherwise. Yuka does send a Google Maps address ahead of time. It is the correct one as a sort of demonstration kitchen of the restaurant. It is not, however, the actual restaurant, so don't get confused and go to the wrong place.

We recently took part in a fluffy pancake cooking experience, and it completely exceeded my expectations! From start to finish, it was not just a cooking session—it was a joyful, hands-on experience filled with laughter, delicious aromas, and of course, the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever tasted. Tomoko was welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient, guiding us through every step of the process with clear instructions and helpful tips. We learned how to get that perfect rise, the ideal golden colour, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that made every bite feel like a cloud. The ingredients were fresh, and the pace was just right for both beginners and seasoned home cooks. We especially appreciated Tomoko going above and beyond to create an amazing experience from the scenic journey through a local temple, to personally guiding us to a local store in a neighbouring town to purchase matcha, and the stack of yummy food suggestions for our other Japan destinations! By the end, not only did I walk away with a stack of picture-perfect pancakes, but also with new skills and confidence to recreate them at home. Highly recommended for food lovers, families, or anyone looking to add some sweetness to their day!

My partner and I had a wonderful experience with Chef Saisho. He is a very kind and gracious host, and our dining experience with him was everything we could have wanted! He proved to be very knowledgeable as he guided us through the market. He asked our opinions on the fresh seafood available and picked up an assortment of ingredients to prepare for our lunch, as well as helped translate questions we had for different vendors. We walked to his restaurant from the market and he began preparing a delicious omakase lunch for us while entertaining our questions and telling us stories. We also had an opportunity to learn from Chef Saisho how to form nigiri sushi and practice ourselves. The food was excellent and our experience with Chef Saisho was a highlight of our recent trip to Japan. Thank you Chef!!

We just had the BEST time at our ramen and gyoza making class!! We are a family of 4 so we had the whole class to ourselves!! Our host was so sweet and spoke perfect English. She picked us up at the meeting place (only one train stop away from the Ikebukuro station) and walked us down the street to the cute Japanese home where the class took place. Our chef was very friendly and knowledgeable. He taught us step by step how to make everything as our host translated. It was very hands-on and easy to follow! The food was delicious and we were given the recipes and instructions so we could make the dishes at home! After we ate, we enjoyed some Japanese sweets and learned how to make matcha tea the traditional way with a bamboo whisk. All in all, this class has been the highlight of our trip to Japan! We had a blast and the food was delicious! Do not hesitate to book this class on your trip to Japan!

Grandma Junko and her assistant, Chikako, were very lovely. Grand Junko was very thorough with her instructions. She brought out different miso paste to try and explained which paste belong to which region in Japan. We learned to make one soup, one rice dish (two ways to make onigiri) and 3 side dishes (gomae, Nagoya miso chicken and tamagoyaki) Even though the kitchen was small, they run a tight ship and were very big on hygiene. Chikako cleans every plate right away and the table is consistently wiped down. After we finished the meal, Grandma Junko taught us the way of having a tea ceremony. I really like the relaxed environment. She taught us how to clean the tools to make tea and the brewing process. We really appreciate their patience and are grateful for them to share the knowledge of Japanese home cooking. Thank you Chikako for taking our pictures. Thank you Grandma Junko for sharing your love of cooking.
