My husband and I booked this class as our last fun experience on our honeymoon, and it was a great way to end our trip! Miyuki was a great instructor. She explained every step very clearly and had so much patience in answering our numerous questions throughout the class. The meal we created in the end was so delicious. We can't wait to practice what we learned back at home. Highly recommend this class!

Tempura Making Class in Shinagawa (Tokyo)

We participated in the tour as a family of four, including our two children aged four and six. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sushi, grilled meat, and desserts, leaving us all happily full. Although our two energetic sons were a bit noisy at times, Mr. Hamada, our guide, was very kind and accommodating. It was especially appreciated that children could join for free, truly making it a kid-friendly tour. It was also excellent to learn about the halal restaurants. Experiencing the local atmosphere of Asakusa made this a memorable tour. I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you’re traveling with children or not.

My favourite dish was the eel. Eel is an unique dish that you do not have the chance to enjoy most of the time. The tenderness of the fish, cooked by experienced chefs made it an incredibly enjoyable meal. The portion of all the food was incredibly filling, and the the guide was enthusiastic.
