This was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed making our own lunch as a family accomodating our need for GF food. Our host was so generous and kind. We were able to get recommendations for other GF places to eat. We are looking forward to cooking our ramen at home.

Chef Chiaki is a very personable trainer who met us on time at the agreed point; despite what she says, she is proficient in English which made it a lot easier too. She demonstrated a good knowledge of the products we were going to use, and what may be available in Australia. She was able to tell us which alternatives could be available (if the originals are not). The Udon noodles were so easy to make, and it was all over oh-so-quickly. Thank you Chiaki for a lovely and educational morning.

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!

We had such a great time on this tour and had so much wonderful food. Hannah G. was an excellent guide! We were especially appreciative of her knowledge of vegetarian options. Also, she shared great tips on eating vegetarian as we traveled and even recommended a signature dish for the next prefecture we were headed to. And the tea surprise to finish the tour was such a special experience. Highly recommended.
