Amazing and delicious!! - Honestly the highlight of my Kyoto stay! The guides were easy to communicate with and the whole experience was just perfect!! And to top it all off, the food we made was incredibly delicious and healthy!! They even catered to a couple of vegetarians in our group with no problem nor making it seem to be a big deal, as it wasn’t. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed cooking traditional Japanese foods and learned a lot :) thank you

Tasty and fun! - I attended the cooking class with my partner and we really enjoyed the experience! The teachers were super nice and the dishes were delicious. They answered our questions and at the end we bought some japanese utensils that we used to make our dishes and will be very useful to cook back at home.
We really recommend it!

Worth the time out of your Kyoto visit. - A fun experience with zero culinary skills required to enjoy. The staff were most helpful and gracious. No language barriers. Couples from France, Holland, and Australia joined us. The food was very tasty! Don’t forget to try the Sake with the meal. Will try the Bento session next time we are in Kyoto.

Delicious food. - This class was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The food we made was so delicious and it really empowered us to cook healthy easy Japanese meals. They gave us the recipes of what we cooked and my partner is currently shopping at the market to make them again.

An afternoon well spent - We had a great afternoon learning how to cook a variety of dishes. Looking forward to trying them out at home. The ladies that did the class were very patient and happy to discuss substitutions in each dish to suit dietary requirements. Highly recommend this class.
