This experience was amazing! My partner and I attended and had a group of 3 including us so it felt intimate and relaxed. Aki was such an amazing instructor, she not only provided recipe cards and information on the food we cooked on the day, (which was such a large variety and portion size, it one of my favourite meals in Japan) but was happy to answer my 100 questions about the many amazing condiments and dishes in her kitchen that were all hand made. She also provided so many recommendations of restaurants, kitchen tool shops and handmade knife shops in Kyoto, allowing me to purchase items that we used in the class that I otherwise wouldn’t have found. Would 100% recommend to any one remotely interested in cooking or replicating Japanese dishes at home in an approachable way.

We were two adults and three children, one glutenfree option. Very nice authentic experience. Since my children may not desire all of the Japanese flavours, they could choose their ingredients to make the onigiri of their choice. Midori-San is a very helpful and kind person and gave as many recommendations for Kyoto as well. Highly recommended.

So amazing, thank you to our host Haime who went above and beyond. This vegan option for those who follow the diet, don’t eat raw fish, or want to learn a different way have to try. He went above and beyond to explain everything and invited us to dine in their restaurant for dinner, including making us a vegan dinner. I can’t recommend the class enough and look forward to teaching my family the recipe. Thank you, Haime!
