Fun and delicious - We had a fantastic time and our chef, May, was wonderful. She was so friendly and she helped us cook the most amazing food. She also gave us helpful suggestions for substitutions in case we couldn’t get the ingredients back home, but the recipes were lovely and simple so we shouldn’t have a problem.

Fantastic cooking class - We had so much fun at this cooking class. The teachers were very welcoming and relaxed. They were really knowledgeable too and gave us lots of information about ingredients and food culture in Japan.
The food we cooked was delicious - washed down with a glass of great sake at the end. We were able to keep the cooking instructions so we can make the recipes again.
Would definitely recommend to anyone, really enjoyable few hours.

Great food with friendly smiles - The set up was efficient and the explanations of ingredients was well done. Most importantly was how the 3 ladies worked together, giving help to anyone, cleaning the areas up quickly, so we could move onto ....one recipe to the next.
Enjoying the 1st courses and than onto the rest of the meal was timely.
We will look forward to preparing this meal for friends and family...Thanks Again!

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!
