We had an excellent time at the Izakaya cooking class. The teachers were kind, thorough, and very entertaining. I would not hesitate to book another class here or to suggest it to friends and family. I think it was a nice touch to dress up in the employee uniform as well!

It is a great experience to participate in the workshop of this izakaya. The chef teaches the course in English and it is easy to understand. We prepare dashimaki, toriyaki and onigiri. At the end you can enjoy the food you prepared in a good atmosphere. If you like Japanese food you should attend this experience. The izakaya is very close to the Nishiki market, so you can experience this workshop and continue exploring places.

Getting to the shop was a bit of a challenge but luckily someone led us to the entrance. The shop has a nice modern aesthetic but it offers authentic Izakaya atmosphere too. They made us wear their uniform too to complete the experience! The chef/instructor was an English speaker so it’s not hard to understand or follow instructions him and the staff were nice. The dishes were fairly easy to make so it would be recommended even for those who don’t know how to make. I would definitely go again with my friends next time to let them try making some Japanese Izakaya food.
