Authentic experience & delicious food - If you’re after authentic Japanese food & recipes, delivered by experienced and knowledgeable people in a small ‘class’ environment, you will be thrilled with this experience. It’s easy to get to with a 7 minute walk from the train station, priced very well (especially given it includes all the ingredients) and is a good way to meet other travellers from different cultures. We highly recommend it.

I had such a great... - I had such a great experience with this cooking class in Tokyo. The instructors were incredibly informative and explained everything in a way that felt approachable and easy to follow, even for someone who doesn’t regularly cook Japanese food. What I appreciated most was how accessible the recipes were — nothing felt intimidating or overly complicated, and each step was clearly explained. I left the class feeling genuinely confident and excited to try making Japanese dishes again once I got home. It was both educational and empowering, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a hands-on, thoughtful introduction to Japanese cooking.

Highlight of a trip - Thank you so much for this wonderful cooking class at Cooking Sun. We cooked a variety of side dishes such as cucumber, omelette (sooo good!), potatoes, pancakes, and more. We also cooked our own wagyu beef, and everything was absolutely delicious!! The class was very interesting, and the three women who taught us were truly kind. I will definitely try to book another class with Cooking Sun in Kyoto because I really loved this experience. It was a true highlight of my trip to Japan. Thank you very much, and see you again soon!

Delicious food & knowledgeable instructors - Our family had a wonderful experience at this cooking class. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. In three hours we helped create seven dishes. All of them were delicious, especially the sukiyaki with Wagyu beef.

Awesome experience to learn about Japanese culture - Tuck in a residential area, Cooking Sun is a nice cooking studio. It’s clean and comfortable. Our teachers are very kind and patient. They don’t only teach you how to cook but they tell you stories about the ingredients like where they come from and they are harvested. This is the highlight of my Tokyo trip. Great for beginner cooks and those who love to eat like me.

Great Intro on Cooking a Variety of Japanese Dishes - This cooking class allowed me to discover a bunch of side dishes that I had never heard of before, as well as learn about some of the fundamental ingredients for Japanese cooking. Most of the ingredient prep has already been done so that the time can be spent on the more interesting parts of the cooking. No advanced cooking skills are needed. Full recipes are provided to take home. The instructors are cheerful, fluent in English, and helpfully answered many of our questions about Japanese cooking.
