Fantastic experience learning to cook! - Had a great time making a bento box from scratch. Naoko and Hisako had clearly written out instructions in English that were easy to understand, and had us join in to make each part so we could learn better

A must do experience! - What a great experience! We enjoyed our time and loved our hosts Naoko and Hisako they were lovely, and spoke a lot of English!
We had fun making the bento boxes, and will go and enjoy them at a park!
Thankyou very much and we would love to visit again if we come back to Japan!

10 out of 10 - an unforgettable experience! - What a wonderful experience! We learned how to make a delicious japanese meal (grilled pork, onigiri, miso soup, and omelette), enjoyed learning about the tea ceremony, and had a great time being dressed in the kimono! Our two hosts were extremely friendly and kind - will come back for sure next time we're in Osaka! Arigatou Gozaimasu!

Spectacular! - We went to Naoko and Hisako Japanese cooking class as part of my partners birthday surprise. We come from Australia and having my partner being half Japanese we do a lot of Japanese cooking at home and this was the only booking that offered everyday Japanese food which was perfect for us because we could take the skills back home! It was quick, efficient and easy! I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much to both!

Definitely worth booking! - Both Naoko and Hisako were great teachers! The food was awesome as well. I did the tea ceremony with sweets after making the meal. We chatted about the rest of my trip. They were very helpful with their suggestions on what I should while I’m here. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a personalized experience learning Japanese home cooking while in Japan!!
