This was a great experience and well worth the 30 minute train journey from central Tokyo. We were met at the station and shown around the local food market before we went to cook. She had some pre-prepared items which required pickling or seasoning for a few days, so that we could have the full bento box making experience. It was an exceptional lesson, with some good information about the history of bento including as a side. Overall, it was a friendly, communal cooling experience, with some excellent food.

Great experience. Made new friends, learned how to cook traditional (and yummy) Japanese dishes, and got to explore a super cute neighborhood (highly recommend spending some time after to poke around!).

With a group of three people we had a great time with our host Miho san. She has great experience teaching Japanese cuisine to foreigners and was very welcoming. She speaks fluently English and even German which I personally enjoyed. Making bento in a short time is quite challenging as there are many different dishes to be placed in the bento box and preparing all of them takes time. Luckily Miho was well prepared, so we managed to create a nice bento box for everyone. Everything tasted great and I would love to go again.
