Incredibly warm and friendly instructor - Our host, Miho, was an incredibly welcoming and patient instructor for our wagashi-making session. She was knowledgeable with cooking and knew how ingredients play together. We would definitely book for another session on a future trip to Japan.

Best Kyoto Experience!! Learn to cook a traditional cuisine from scratch! - Highlight of my trip to Kyoto and I’ve been staying here for a while on a little solo retreat! Miho is incredible and informative and just the best teacher, I went in not being confident in my cooking skills and left feeling super grateful and excited to cook for my friends and family back in Australia and share this gorgeous cuisine with them! You will take part in cooking every single dish, there’s 6 people max so it’s such a tightly knit little group and amazing getting to know one another and share this experience- next up getting an abundance of cute little bowls and plates to bring home too!! Thank you Miho and your amazing friend you two are rays of light 🥰 also thank you for accommodating my gluten free - ness !

A Can't Miss Cooking Class in Kyoto! - Miho was amazing! Our family had the best time learning how to make Japanese sweets. The class was held in a cute neighborhood near the metro, and we had lots of hands-on time in the kitchen. I highly recommend this class for anyone visiting Kyoto!

Great experience! - I had booked a cooking class with traditional Japanese dishes. The course was really great. I was greeted by Miho very friendly with water and Japanese snacks in a traditional Japanese apartment. Then I cooked several dishes together with Miho: Miso soup, spinach salad, Japanese omelette, inari sushi, sushi rolls, tempura and homemade mochi ice cream for dessert. Miho had already prepared various things, so the cooking time was shortened. There was more time to explain the ingredients and the preparation steps. I particularly liked the fact that I could cook or prepare my own "lunch set" myself and not just watch it cook. The highlight, of course, was the subsequent meal. It tasted delicious and I'll certainly be cooking the dishes at home soon. Another highlight after the cooking class was the joint visit to the supermarket. Miho not only explained what ingredients are needed for her recipes, but also patiently explained many Japanese foods and their use. All in all, the cooking class with Miho was one of the Unpacked of my trip to Japan and I highly recommend it!

Great and TASTY introduction to Japanese cuisine - I love cooking and was looking for a class that would introduce me to Japanese cuisine and culture, and that would for various levels of cooking skills. The class was just that! In about 3 hires we managed the make a full Japanese meal, including dessert, and eat it. The teacher was very kind and patient, and was willing to explain every little detail about the dishes we made, while maintaining a very happy and welcoming environment. Definitely recommend!
