I had a great time learning how to make bento containing onigiri, karaage, tamagoyaki, along with some vegetables. I have very little experience with cooking, but Yuki-san was very patient and helpful, and made sure that I did most of the work myself so that I could properly learn the process. She explained the recipe for each part of the bento, how and where the recipe can vary between families, and why she makes the choices she does. She clearly has lots of experience and was able to condense it so that I could understand. The kitchen was very large and clean. It can easily hold multiple people at once. All of the ingredients were beautifully prepared ahead of time, along with printed copies of the recipes. After cooking all the food, Yuki-san helped me in preparing and decorating the bento box which I then ate out of to finish the day. The food was very good despite me making it. The flavors were very simple and delicate as Yuki-san explained is common in Japanese food. The food tasted very clean and fresh, even the fried karaage. Yuki-san is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking and sharing her culture through food. Her English is very good and I was able to clearly understand and communicate with her. Her recipes are also very thoughtful and delicious. She even gave me a small gift of a Japanese-style kitchen towel before I left. I definitely would like to attend another of her classes again in the future, and would highly recommend attending!

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!

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!
