10/10 — would happily do it again. - This was my first activity in Tokyo, and honestly? Such a perfect way to start the trip. Satoko san was an incredible teacher. Kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She didn’t just show us how to make mochi; she walked us through the history, the traditions, and why mochi holds such an important place in Japanese culture. The experience felt personal, relaxed, and deeply cultural, not rushed or touristy. You leave not only with delicious mochi in your belly, but with a real appreciation for the craft and its meaning. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, I highly recommend adding a mochi-making class to your itinerary. It’s hands-on, meaningful, and a beautiful introduction to Japan.

A wonderful host and a really enjoyable experience - Satoko was a brilliant host. She gave us an overview of mochi; the different types, how they are made, and woven into Japanese celebrations - which was really interesting. She had perfect english which made it very easy to chat, while we tried out different ways of making mochi and obviously tasting it all at the end. We had our class in Satoko’s home, which made it really special. A real highlight of our 4 week trip to Japan.

One of my most memorable experiences in Japan - Satoko was very knowledgeable well orchestrated in her class. She was also exceedingly patient. The value of her class can’t be matched, with the amount I learned. A personal thanks to her, if you’re on the fence, please don’t hesitate
