It was such a lovely experience and very enjoyable! I did not know before that tofu is so versatile and can cook that many flavorful dishes from it. Morimi san is such a lovely lady who is welcoming and patient throughout the lesson. The cooking steps were easy to follow and at the end of the class, we enjoyed the delicious meal together. I have already got all the ingredients and looking forward to recreate it myself at home!

I went with my 16 year-old daughte. A wonderful place. Highly recommended I would do it again. The food and the experience was excellent, but the host were the best part of the experience . Engaging.

Rina war toll-wir haben viel gelernt und hatten sehr gutes Essen!

Great experience, loved it

I had an amazing experience! The chef was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the omurice was absolutely perfect. Host Motokichi chef made the experience truly unforgettable. He shared so many interesting stories, and the meal was unlike anything we've had before. If you're visiting Kyoto, this is an absolute must-do. Highly recommended! I had an amazing experience!

My first time joining an onigiri-making class, and I had so much fun. 🍙🤍 Please take a moment to read this. This experience was such a privilege and something I'll always remember. While I enjoyed learning how to make onigiri, what truly captured my heart was hearing the story behind it from our teacher, who has spent years perfecting this craft. Many people think making onigiri is simple and technically, it is. But making it with love, compassion, dedication, and a genuine desire to nourish others is what makes it truly special. That is the secret ingredient you can never replicate. We also learned that the rice they use comes from Niigata's Sekikawa Village (関川村), where premium Koshihikari rice is grown. The clean water and rich natural environment of Japan contribute to the exceptional quality and flavor of the rice, making every bite taste even more special. After hearing their stories, I realized that what they truly want to share isn't just how to make onigiri it's the heart, culture, and tradition behind it. It's about showing the world what makes Japanese onigiri different. I'm so grateful to have experienced this. It wasn't just a cooking class—it was a beautiful lesson about passion, craftsmanship, and sharing kindness through food. A memory I'll always cherish and one I'm happy to share with others. 🇯🇵🍙

Fumi was incredibly nice. Everything was extremely clean, neat and organized. The food was delicious and the cooking process was fun and easy. Recipes are provided at the end. Highly recommended!

This was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had! I happened to meet the owner on Threads while posting about Japan, and learned she had a Ramen experience that took place at both her brother’s 3rd generation ramen factory and her house for dinner. We got to try their grandpa’s original ramen after flattening it and cutting it ourselves, as well as try salad, gyoza, and pork ramen soup that were all their mother’s and grand mother’s recipes. She even took care to make sure my mom’s shellfish allergy wasn’t an issue! We spent 5 hours with this kind family, had amazing and deep conversations about cultural similarities and differences, and even got to meet the family’s children, neighbor, and dogs! It was such a soulful experience and I cannot recommend enough. Might be the best experience I’ve ever had in Japan!

The lesson moved at a great pace, which felt really comfortable! And the taste? Absolutely perfect! 👍 I loved how the instruction was tailored to my preferences and how carefully the flavors were checked along the way—it was fantastic! For the mushroom mixed rice, the dashi stock made from dried shiitake mushrooms and kombu was excellent. We cooked it in a pot, so we even got to enjoy the crispy, caramelized rice crust (*okoge*) at the bottom! Turning the used kombu into *furikake* seasoning was a delicious example of eco-friendly cooking! Tomoko-sensei’s homemade pickled *koume* plums paired perfectly with the rice—it was incredibly delicious! Then there was the tofu steak! With that all-purpose sauce, making a steak is a breeze—a truly superb dish! The potato potage was also easy to make and delicious. 😋 Adding a dash of cinnamon to change up the flavor was a brand-new experience for me! I devoured it in no time! Next was the stir-fried eggplant with miso. Mmm, so tasty! The hand-torn shiso leaves added a lovely accent. The lesson was packed with treats—Tomoko-sensei’s homemade salad, plum wine, plum juice, and matcha jelly—leaving me completely satisfied! Above all, it was such a fun time, filled with wonderful hospitality! The food was delicious, of course, but the conversation while cooking was just so much fun. It feels like that positive energy is infused right into the dishes! I’d love to sign up for another class!

This was an incredible experience and Masako was a knowledgable and friendly instructor; she shared recipes from her own life and answered all our questions. The food was delicious, we learned a lot, and we are extremely grateful for the experience. Thank you Masako!

Rina did a wonderful job working with more college students from the same organization, making the cooking lesson fresh while making sure the different sessions had an excellent core experience!

Rina was an excellent teacher: patient, knowledgeable, and very engaging! We had a great time!
