日本 魚素選擇 豆腐 課程(10)

Very nice experience! Yuka-san was able to adjust the menu to my request (I wanted to try making sesame tofu) and taught me a lot about shojin ryori. Afterwards we went to the supermarket and she helped me to pick up the things I wanted to buy and take home with me. Thank you! ありがとうございます！

Yuka-san was an incredible and gracious hostess! My girlfriend and I learned so much and really enjoyed the peaceful and intimate atmosphere of our lesson. Shyōjin Ryōri is a beautiful art that encourages mindfulness, sustainability, and results in delicious food. I recommend Yuka-san’s lesson to anyone who wants to learn about Buddhist tradition, mindful cooking and gain peace of mind. She was so accommodating to our taste preferences and was able to make a last minute change to the recipe when we forgot to mention an allergy. We appreciated Yuka-san’s efforts to use seasonal vegetables. Additionally, her husband was incredibly kind and they have an adorable little finch that joined us for dinner! This was such a memorable experience and we highly recommend taking a cooking lesson with Yuka-san!

I enjoyed Yuka-san's cooking class a lot and would recommend it to anyone interested in Shojin Ryori, vegan cuisine or just good, healthy food in general. Yuka-san is a very sweet and calm person and answered my questions thoroughly. The food we prepared together was a feast for all senses - beautiful-looking and full of distinctive flavors, not to mention very tasty.

It was a very enjoyable experience! Although it’s in my neighborhood, I got to tour a noodle factory that I normally wouldn’t have a chance to see, and I made my own noodles by choosing the dough and the cutting blade I liked. It was a very interesting and valuable experience. After that, we moved to Akiko-san’s home, where we started by preparing the filling for the gyoza, wrapping them, and then cooking them with crispy wings, just like in a restaurant! The salad with fried baby sardines and mizuna was also exceptional. We then boiled our own ramen noodles, added various toppings, and enjoyed a luxurious bowl of rich, tonkotsu-style ramen! To finish, we made matcha shiratama cream anmitsu, which was a perfect course. There were no foreign participants this time, but this has inspired me to study English, and I hope to interact with international guests next time. Thank you for the wonderful time!

The experience was more than what I’ve expected. It’s like having multiple tours in one and Akiko-san was so friendly and fun to speak with. And to ensure quality experience, the tour was strictly kept to a small group size up to 5 only. It’s almost like a private tour or class with that group size. The ramen noodles factory was exceptionally enlightening especially if you are a big fan of ramen. Speaking with the noodle master felt like a money-can’t—but experience. We got to ask so much questions, looked and touched different ingredients and doughs, and even got to try out packing noodles in the machine. The subsequent hands-on cooking class was also amazing as Akiko-san brought us through meticulously the steps to making good Gyoza and Ramen. She also shared with us tips on how to make good ramen back at our home country - sharing with us knowledge about substitutes, etc to make sure we can easily replicate it on our own. I highly recommend this tour if you have half a day to spare in your visit to Tokyo or Yokohama. The experience taught me so much about ramen and would love to do it again next time.
