Thank you Masako for being so patient with us as we got lost on the trains and were running late. We hand kneaded wheat flour and water to make udon then put it in plastic to step on it the traditional way. It was fun for my 12yr old daughter and I. Next we made tamagoyaki which was egg and miso and water with some sugar. After we ate that we processed to fry our tempura and cooked our udon noodles. We had to place it nicely on the plate and while we enjoyed lunch Masako wrote some calligraphy for us. She gifted us some calligraphy to take home as well as a cute fan with both versions of our Japanese names on both sides. We also took away the udon and tempura we could not finish so we can enjoy it later. Definitely worth the time if u can make it down to Kita-seju area which is about 50mins away from Shibuya. Her studio is not far from the station.

Overall great experience, I did it solo and it was a delightful one on one (and a translator) course. I took the class on Christmas and it was a delightful way to enjoy a holiday lunch. You make cute and simple sushi that you can then recreate at home paired with a fresh and crispy tempura medley. A simple and enjoyable learning experience for 2 Japanese classics.

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!
