I really loved the class. First of all the instructions for getting there were very detailed and easy to follow. The place is in a beautiful neighborhood, 2 minutes walk from the bus station. The teacher is very warm and friendly. She explained the process step by step and we made 4 creative and beautiful wagashi. At the end I drank matcha while she explained to me different facts about the culture of green tea in Japan and other sweets served alongside it. I will never forget this experience.

What You Can Expect from Our Classes

These cooking experiences offer a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where you can learn at your own pace. Our expert instructors will guide you through each step, ensuring you gain both the skills and confidence to replicate these dishes at home. Each class typically begins with an introduction to matcha, covering its origins, health benefits, and various uses in cooking.

You will then dive into hands-on cooking sessions, where you'll prepare a range of vegetarian dishes. These may include traditional Japanese dishes such as matcha soba noodles or more modern creations like matcha-infused risotto. Many of the ingredients used in these recipes are locally sourced and organic, promoting both sustainability and fresh flavors.

Why Choose Matcha Cooking Classes?

Choosing a matcha-focused cooking class offers numerous benefits. Not only do you get to experiment with this versatile ingredient, but you'll also discover the many health benefits associated with matcha, such as its high antioxidant content, potential boosts to metabolism, and calming effects. Cooking with matcha allows you to incorporate these benefits into a variety of meals, promoting overall wellbeing.

These classes also provide a fantastic opportunity to meet new people who share your interest in cooking and plant-based nutrition. They are a social, interactive experience, where you can exchange tips, share ideas, and perhaps form lasting friendships. Cooking together fosters a unique bonding experience that extends beyond the kitchen.

Lastly, our classes are designed to be casual and stress-free, focusing on the joy of culinary exploration rather than rigid techniques or complex recipes. This makes them an ideal choice for a fun day out, whether you're a solo participant or looking to plan a memorable group activity with friends or family.
