Strongly recommend for a wonderful vegetarian Japanese cooking experience in Tokyo. Tomokita was an amazing host! Friendky , warm and an amazing cook. It was wonderful to be able to make so many delicious vegetarian dishes in her comfortable home with lots of tips along the way to level up our skills back home. The walk around the local area was a lovely touch as was adding seasonal local options into the thoughtful menu. Would definitely book again and tell all friends visiting Tokyo to book a session.

My husband and I had an incredible time learning to make sushi with Saeko! Saeko welcomed us into her home and kitchen, where we learned all about the different ingredients in miso soup, sushi, and tofu, and then we got to make (and eat) each! We would love to take another class by Saeko. Very highly recommend this class as part of your visit to Japan! 🌸

What a wonderful experience! Everything was clearly explained and conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment. It was a real learning experience, and you got to eat your handiwork when you were finished. The host explained and demonstrated everything first and then let's you do it on your own. Very authentic and highly recommended!
