Aichi 和菓子 料理教室

I had an incredible time learning authentic Nagoya home cooking! Unlike other classes where you just watch and eat, this was completely hands-on, which made a huge difference. Yuko-san and her family were so welcoming that the evening felt more like a warm family gathering than a formal lesson. If you want to experience the true heart of Nagoya’s food culture beyond just sitting in a restaurant, this is the perfect way to do it. I will definitely be making that tebasaki when I get back home!

Grandma Junko and her wonderful assistant, Chikako, gave us an unforgettable experience while showing us how to prepare Nagoya specialty dishes. We would very highly recommend this experience.

Very delicious food. A great experience. The grandmas were very organized and nice. They met me at the station and walked me through the steps of the recipes. So much fun!

It was great spending time with Junko as she taught us how to make bento boxes. She was very accommodating and hospitable during our session. She had her helper entertain our kids for a few moments so we can focus on the making the food. The food was delicious and the experience was warm and personal. We truly felt like we were making food with someones grandma. Thanks again Junko!

Yuko-san was very kind and sweet! She picked me up from the station herself, and drove us to her lovely house. Since I was the only one who booked the experience, we had a private lesson just the two of us :) We even prepared a dish not listed on the recipes planned. Yuko-san accommodated my requests for vegetarian recipes, as well as replying quickly to emails when needed. The whole class was in English, easy to follow and we had a wonderful conversation as we prepared the different wagashi. She even made sure to take lots of photos and later send it to me via email! This was a great experience, definitely recommend! You will also get the recipes to all the dishes you make, so you can recreate them at home! Thank you again Yuko-san for such a wonderful time!
