京都美食体验

I had such a wonderful time joining the Kichi Kichi Omurice Experience. It was really special to learn directly from such an iconic omurice chef in person and the experience was both fun and educational. He was very friendly, entertaining, and knowledgeable, so the whole atmosphere felt warm and memorable.I also felt like I learned useful tips that I could actually try again at home. When I made omurice afterwards, my omelette already turned out better than before! The T-shirt was also a lovely souvenir and made the experience feel even more special. Overall, I think it’s a very unique and memorable experience for anyone who loves Japanese food and wants to learn more than just the basic recipe. It was fun, personal, and something I’ll definitely remember.

When talking about omurice, it's always easy to think of kichikichi, especially when researching Japanese foods that you have to try when traveling to Japan. Being able to practice and learn from the master of omurice is a tremendous and rewarding honor. We had a very detailed explanation of everything beforehand, but making our own omurice was a very fun and a unique experience. If you're thinking of doing it, I would definitely do it again because it was worth every memory.

Ive decided to sign up for my son (24) and I (55) to take this. I was afraid it was too childlish but we both ended up enjoying so much. It was easy enough but took some challenges that made us excited to work in fake food making! I was amazed how people came up with all technique and process to make wax food so real. We made a great memory and something to laugh about all evening. We have to stay active and young, to play more. The best part is this is something everyone can do, 5 yrs to 90yrs, I think its the best easy and fun activity! I hope people try this.

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!

Flexible, friendly and fun!

We had an amazing tour with Hero and would highly recommend him. As a UK travel agent, I'm always looking for experiences that I can confidently recommend to my clients and this is definitely one of them. Hero was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about Kyoto. He took us to two fantastic local restaurants that we would never have found on our own, giving us a real taste of authentic Kyoto. Afterward, we enjoyed a fascinating walking tour of Gion, where Hero shared the history and culture of the area, making it come alive. This was one of the highlights of our time in Kyoto. If you're looking for an authentic experience with a brilliant local guide, don't hesitate to book with Hero. I can't wait to recommend this tour to my future clients! PS. here's a good photographer too.

This private tea ceremony was a highlight of our trip to Japan. The house and garden are lovely. The host, Naomi, shared the culture and tradition of the tea ceremony in a manner that was both respectful and accessible to visitors to Japan. We left feeling calm and refreshed. We highly recommend this tea ceremony!

Our guide, Laiana, was absolutely superb. She was personable, knowledgeable and warm. By the end of the tour, we had forgotten that she was a tour guide. It felt like we were exploring the city with a friend who wanted to show us her favorite spots.

Hiro gave us a fabulous food experience in downtown Kyoto and informative walking tour through the Gion district. The restaurants he selected for us were perfect, and met our challenging food restrictions :) He was also a great photographer and knew the perfect locations to take the perfect photo! Thank You, Hiro! You made our time in Kyoto unforgettable! Sincerely, Brian & Kristin

We had a great time exploring the market with Hiro! It was interesting to learn about his "day job" and he took us to several great spots, including the basement of the department store where locals buy their lunches. Only noting that we stopped at one store and were told everything should be fine for our dietary restrictions, but I checked ingredients when I got home and one sauce had beef & pork in it. We should definitely have checked and do not expect Hiro to know every ingredient in all the packaged goods in the market! Just advice to future travelers to translate everything!

We enjoyed our Kyoto food tour with Hiro. In addition to delicious food, Hiro’s local knowledge of Kyoto area, culture, and traditions made our encounter very enriching. But the most memorable experiences were the conversations over dinner. Looking forward to future visits and tours of Kyoto.

A definite highlight of our trip to Japan. From the moment we walked in, Midori-san showed us great hospitality by serving us tea and sweets. She is very friendly and lively, and we felt right at home. She asked about our itinerary and gave us detailed recommendations. This was close to the end of our Japan trip, but I'd strongly recommend booking this near the start so you can benefit most from her suggestions! The cooking class was great and Midori-san was very patient and clear in her instructions. We made vegan onigiri, gyoza and ramen. The onigiri was surprisingly simple to make and we also received printouts of the recipe. After only being back in the US for a few days, I have already made onigiri for lunch. The gyoza and ramen were equally delicious. Make sure to come with an empty stomach! After we finished the food, she even walked us to a nearby supermarket so we could pick up the ingredients to make them at home. Overall, Midori-san went above and beyond to make this a great experience for us. There are of course many things to do in Kyoto, but as a tourist it's rare to be able to have an experience like this where you are welcomed inside a local's home. I strongly recommend this class.
