I felt like part of the ohana (family)! - Ayumi-san and Mari-san are the best! We started the experience by going marketing. They went above and beyond and explained different ingredients and products to me that I was interested in. They even took me to extra stores to find certain products I wanted. We started cooking. It was easy to follow along. Mari-san and Ayumi-san made dishes beyond what was listed on the description because I had shown interest in learning about them. I felt like part of their family. I loved all the dishes we made.

Great experience, recommended :) - After a hectic day of shopping in Shibuya, my sister & I headed to the district of Ebisu (just a few minutes away by train) for our cooking class. Ebisu is a charming little town, with its garden town center, shops, & restaurants. We were promptly met by Ayumi & Mari just outside the train station. First, we headed to the grocery store to pick up a few ingredients. The grocery store was amazing. Loved looking at all the beautiful produce, meat/seafood, & especially the bread/pastry section with its own bakery, yum! From the grocery store, we walked to Ayumi’s apartment nearby. We had so much fun cooking and even learning a little Japanese in her tiny apartment. I can’t wait to try Mari’s method for making miso soup, hamburger, & potato salad at home. I will never make it the same again. Our cooking class was one of the highlights of our visit to Japan. Arigatou gozaimasu :)

Incredible! Traditional, delicious and welcoming - Incredible! Had such a lovely time learning how to cook Japanese cuisine. Ayumi and her mother’s passion and care was evident in their delivery. The food was delicious and I couldn’t recommend this more if you’re looking for an authentic, intimate and welcoming environment to learn about Japanese food.
