A gem of an experience! - This experience was such a delightful treat! Yuka our instructor was so fun and informative. She gave us a brief history and tour of the meeting place shrine and introduced us to a few local shops & their proprietors, which we throughly enjoyed! The cooking class was very interactive and hands on while Yuka provided her expertise. This was one of the best experiences we had on our holiday!

Best Cooking Class and Tour - Yuka provided a thoroughly enjoyable tour of the local shrine and area food options. They were local and so good. From here she led our group (two couples) in a pleasant cooking class. We prepared dumplings and ramen. Yuka shared great insights into the varieties of ramen and techniques to prepare dumplings. It was a very satisfying experience.
