Such a fun afternoon!! - The cooking class was straight up amazing!! Me and my friend wanted to learn how to cook japanese dishes at home and they explained it to us in an easy and very fun way :) They first show you what to do and then you can do it all yourself. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to dive into the izakaya culture!!

Fun making Traditional Japanese izakaya food and very delicious - We had a great experience! It was a lot of fun. The hosts were lovely and explained everything in detail. We could cook with our own hands and try the traditional Japanese izakaya foods. They showed us how to roll the egg roll on the pan and the interesting ingredients used in the japanese stock, skewers and onigiri. It was delicious too!
