We really enjoyed the cooking class with Michi and Aki. They are really friendly and explained very well what we needed to do. We cooked yummy crispy gyoza and sushi rolls that we then ate with a miso soup. The kitchen is a central location, easy to find and very cozy. We had a great time with my daughter !

My friend and I LOVED this cooking class. It was our 2nd/3rd time to Kyoto so adding in cooking classes was a great, unique experience since we didn't have all the temples and bamboo forest on the agenda for this visit. Their English is FANTASTIC so really easy to understand and follow along. They prepare a lot of the measuring and things so you really focus on the cooking part of it and you can get to eat your creations throughout. You also walk away with all the recipes and you can even buy some of the Japanese specific cooking supplies there if you need (grating plate, sesame grinding bowl, etc.) Everything was delicious and I am excited to replicate these recipes at home and maybe turn them into my lunch bentos for work! Definitely add this to your trip itinerary! I would totally take it again if the menu changed over time.

It was quite an interesting experience and hands on from making the noodle to cooking it. It was a bit too short in my opinion. But other than that, it was quite fun.

Yuki is such an amazing teacher! We learned how to make multiple izakaya dishes and some of the basics for Japanese cuisine. We got to cook, to eat and to drink a lot of sake 😅 Yuki also gave us some great recommendations for the remainder of our trip. I can't recommend this workshop enough!

Really fun and easy noodle instruction, coupled with tasty spice mixing process. Cooking was also simple with a delicious broth and vegetables. A little mixup with the communication between cafe and byfood, since the cafe did not seem to know we had already paid through byfood. They eventually agreed that we had already paid.
