A fun hands-on experience - It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. It started with a warm welcome. Followed by an introduction to what we would be making. During the cooking process she was helpful every step of the way. After came the fun part of enjoying our freshly made desserts. I would highly recommend this.

Absolutely to do! - Wonderful experience! Greeted by the sweetest Miho, she offered us tea and immediately put us at ease. My daughter had so much fun, and everything was great!

Kyoto must-do - This was absolutely amazing, a highlight of my Kyoto trip for sure. The host, Miho, was incredibly personable and kind, made me feel welcome. She knows what she’s doing and explained how to make the sweets in an easy-to-follow way. If you’re at all interested in Japanese cooking, I’d say check out one of Miho’s classes and you will not be disappointed. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fun and relaxed class - Had a lovely afternoon making 3 types of wagashi with Miho. It was interesting to see the different processes and techniques involved. The whole session was very relaxed and had some delicious wagashi at the end. Would definitely recommend it.

Escape the heat and make fun treats! - This Wagashi (Japanese Sweets) cooking class with Miho was the best activity for my 12 year old son and I to do together, especially when it is miserably hot outside and sightseeing is just not so fun to do, this was the perfect place to be. Miho is very sweet and a wonderful instructor and is so welcoming into her home. Eating the treats we made at the end of the class was perfect, and she gave us matcha tea which we made ourselves as well!
