Vegetarian Food Experiences

It was a wonderful lesson! Everything was delicious, and the two instructors were fantastic. I really hope the instructor who is about to turn 95 lives a long, healthy life.

A wonderfully eye-opening experience from Akito, where he not only taught us about tea, from growing it all the way to preparing it, but also talked about the state and future of the tea industry in Shizuoka and Japan as a whole. Between visiting the fields, touring a rare co-op factory, and tasting a variety of teas, we were impressed not only by Akito's knowledge about tea and the local area, but also the skill with which he was able to craft the perfect cup, dialing in the temperature and infusions with just his senses. A true master! Whether you have a burgeoning curiosity about tea or already a seasoned lover, this tour is a must!

this was so fun! i had a great time making my ramen bowl. the instructor was also great. when i visit japan again, ill definitely come back.

This was such an amazing experience for me! Tomokita is truly lovely and opens her heart and home to teach you how to cook. She is incredibly patient and guides you through the whole process, making you feel comfortable and welcome from start to finish. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tokyo. Thank you, Tomokita, for making my time in Tokyo even more special!

We are two Swedish friends who chose to try cooking in Okinawa with Rina. We had high expectations that she fulfilled and so much more. The evening began with a warm welcome into her home. She spoke in detail - in perfect English - about Okinawan culture, daily life, stories about local ingredients and traditions. At the same time, we got to try new exciting dishes and cooking methods while she enriched every step with lots of information and knowledge. We ended the evening full and satisfied and with a newfound attraction to the exciting Okinawan cuisine. Many thanks to Rina for everything. We highly recommend her course to all food-interested visitors to this beautiful island.

Excellent! Timings were great and had a lovely lunch at the end. Catered for gluten free really well so highly recommend for people with allergies etc. We had two female chefs whose English was very good and who taught us all brilliantly by demo and then you copy! Highly recommend 😊

Amazing class and instructors! Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable and it was fascinating to learn about different types of miso, where they originated in Japan, annd anbout other garments like Amazake! I’m now inspired by the fermentation of koji and can’t wait to try at home. Arigatou gozaimasu for the experience and I will be back for more Amazake as well! Couldn’t recommend the experience more!

My ramen-making experience at Ramen Dojo was one of those special experiences that I will remember long after leaving Japan. Sensei Yoku was absolutely wonderful—patient, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the art of making ramen. There is something incredibly rewarding about learning the process step by step, working with your own hands, and then sitting down to enjoy a bowl of ramen that you actually created yourself. What made the experience especially memorable was Sensei Yoku. He made the class feel personal rather than simply another tourist activity, and I left with a much greater appreciation for the skill, tradition, and care that goes into something as seemingly simple as a bowl of ramen. I’ve taken several hands-on classes during my travels, and these are often the experiences I treasure the most because they allow you to connect with the people and culture in a completely different way. Ramen Dojo was exactly that kind of experience. Thank you, Sensei Yoku, for sharing your knowledge, your patience, and a little piece of Japanese culture with me. An absolutely fantastic experience and an easy five stars!

This experience was worth it, we learned some new things about different kinds of soy sauce, Music products and vinegar. You can bring it into real practise while you make your own dinner with real hands-on tips and tricks from Marie! She is a lovely woman who shows her Passion for the Japanse cuisine with you and helps you out with all your questions, you get invited into her home for a true feast of Japanse food that you will love. I'm definitly going to try out some of the recipes she gave us to try and infuse them in a western-style cooking. Thank you Marie dor the experience it was a lot of Fun!

I had such a wonderful vegan sushi-making experience in Osaka! ☺️ Saeko is a very professional and thoughtful instructor, and I could really tell that she carefully selected high-quality ingredients for the class. I was so happy to see the sushi I made myself at the end of the class. It looked beautiful and tasted delicious too! 😋 I learned not only how to make vegan sushi, but also about the beauty and presentation of Japanese cuisine. It was a very enjoyable and meaningful experience for me. I would definitely love to experience this class again if I have the chance. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in vegan food or Japanese cuisine!
