Mid-summer treat! - What a treat this was in the heat and crowds of Kyoto. Miho is an engaging and patient teacher who ensured our children had plenty of opportunity for hands-on experience. She even made us matcha and explained how and when to enjoy it. We really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend Miho’s class.

Lovely dessert making class - Miho was a delight from beginning to end! My daughter and I had so much fun at this wagashi cooking class. She was very patient and kind and we made three delicious desserts. She also gave my daughter a little gift! Our desserts turned out quite nice (looked almost like the picture!) and were a nice cool treat in the heat. Would recommend and I want to come back with the rest of my kids!

Best experience in Kyoto! - Best experience in Kyoto! Miho was incredibly warm and welcoming. She led a very well organized cooking class in a traditional Japanese home, answering all our questions with so much patience! Most impressively, she was so nice in including our young kids who are 6 and 9. I highly recommend doing this when you’re in Kyoto!

Kind host and yummy desserts - Miho was so kind and patient. My young kids were all over the place but she worked well with them. The desserts were fun to make and tasty to eat. Her place is a bit further so plan a taxi ride over.

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.
