Time flew by! We had an amazing and super educational morning with Miho. Learned a ton, and really feel closer to the Japanese kitchen now. She also helped us decode the supermarket and gave tips for gifts and treats to bring back. We highly recommend taking this class!

Washoku: Authentic Japanese Cooking Class (Fushimi, Kyoto)

It was an amazing experience. I recommend it to everyone who is interested in Japanese culture and who wants to dive into the world of Geiko and Maiko. It was a great opportunity to meet a real Maiko, ask her questions and be allowed to take pictures. Ken, our guide, was super nice and had a lot of knowledge about the Geiko district, history and Japanese traditions. The food was yummy although we have been a bit distracted by our beautiful Maiko. Thank you again for offering this tour and thank you for your guidance. ありがとうございます

My husband and I booked this class as our last fun experience on our honeymoon, and it was a great way to end our trip! Miyuki was a great instructor. She explained every step very clearly and had so much patience in answering our numerous questions throughout the class. The meal we created in the end was so delicious. We can't wait to practice what we learned back at home. Highly recommend this class!
