京都美食体验(59)

We had the pleasure of Hiro giving us a tour of the Nishiki Market. Unfortunately we had a tight schedule and Hiro went out of his way to accommodate our timeline. Not only did we learn so much about local cuisine we were also provided several suggestions on tips on other things to do in the area. Hiro is very interesting and a great conversationalist. We will definitely take his evening tour next time we are in Japan. Thanks Again Hiro.

It was lovely. The staff was so nice and answering all of our questions. The tour of the farm was super interesting. They took us out with the car to the plantations and showed us the plants. We tasted a lot of the and were given great informations on what they are and why they taste like they taste

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.

Teruyuki was an exceptional guide and a very good ambassador to the Ayabe city. Not only did he take us to the washi paper workshop and mochi making activity, but he also showed us so much like the temple and de rose garden. A truly wonderful day!

We had a fantastic evening with our Kyoto Izakaya food guide, Hiroshi! We truly appreciated his enthusiasm when sharing his love and knowledge of the food and culture. All the food choices that he made for us were fabulous and delicious! And we thoroughly enjoyed our after dinner stroll through Gion and surrounding areas, all while Hiro shared interesting facts about Japanese culture & traditions. We highly recommend Hiro if you want a fun night out with wonderful memories of Kyoto that you can look back on fondly!
