My cooking lesson with Yuka was perfect! She was very organized, her instructions were very clear, and time was well managed. The food I learned to make was delicious and easy enough that I feel confident I can make it again when I return home, and no now I have the recipes she gave me to help. I’m very happy with my experience.

I had the most delightful cooking session with Tomoko! A fully customized 5 course pesco-vegetarian meal preceded by a lovely walk from the train station to her house through a beautiful park with sakura trees in bloom. I learnt many tips on meal prep and was given all the recipes. From the home-made plum wine to the foil-grilled black cod to the 16 grain rice- every item was sumptuous. Tomoko was a charming and knowledgeable host and I cannot recommend her course enough! It was a pleasure to meet you Tomoko-san🥰

We had a lovely experience making Mochi with Sakura while in Tokyo. We were a group of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids ranging from 8-12 years old). Everything was well organized and planned. It was great learning about all the different types of mochi for different holidays and their cultural significance. Kids loved the experience of making something and then eating it. Sakura was very sweet with all the kids and it was lovely to be invited into her home. I would highly recommend this experience.
