This was a great experience and well worth the 30 minute train journey from central Tokyo. We were met at the station and shown around the local food market before we went to cook. She had some pre-prepared items which required pickling or seasoning for a few days, so that we could have the full bento box making experience. It was an exceptional lesson, with some good information about the history of bento including as a side. Overall, it was a friendly, communal cooling experience, with some excellent food.

We were welcomed into a beautiful home by a wonderful couple. She explained bento and onigiri before diving into the how-to. The process was surprisingly simple but something you can't learn on your own. We also fell in love with the square pan used for rolled eggs. After cooking, she showed us how to make onigiri and assemble the bento box, giving us lots of ingredient options based on our preferences. Afterwards, we ate what we made, along with traditional sweets and tea. A bonus was a pot of pour over coffee in the backyard in the shade. Can't say enough how wonderful of an experience it was, as English speakers we got along just fine. We left full and she even wrapped up what we couldn't eat! Favorite day spent in Japan.

Great experience. Made new friends, learned how to cook traditional (and yummy) Japanese dishes, and got to explore a super cute neighborhood (highly recommend spending some time after to poke around!).

With a group of three people we had a great time with our host Miho san. She has great experience teaching Japanese cuisine to foreigners and was very welcoming. She speaks fluently English and even German which I personally enjoyed. Making bento in a short time is quite challenging as there are many different dishes to be placed in the bento box and preparing all of them takes time. Luckily Miho was well prepared, so we managed to create a nice bento box for everyone. Everything tasted great and I would love to go again.
