Top Japan Cooking Classes

The evening we spent with Yayo and her friend Kimi (?) was delightful! It was great to be inside a Japanese home learning to prepare real Japanese foods. The class size of 5 was just right, the foods were varied and delicious, and the take away and gifts were beautifully personal and thoughtful! Most grateful!

Awesome experience! This was a fun, interactive class. The instructors were funny and friendly, easy to understand with step by step instructions. We got the sake flight with our experience and even that had information on the different sakes. Fun for all ages. Highly recommend this experience.

We did this ramen-making class as a family and honestly had such a great time. The kids really enjoyed it, especially getting to make their own ramen and then eat it after. The class was easy to follow, very engaging, and never felt too complicated or too slow. It was informative but still light and entertaining from start to end. Overall, just a really nice, well-run experience that worked for our whole family. Glad we did it!

Learning about the history of tea ceremonies was very interesting and I have a whole new appreciation for matcha leaving this experience. Dressing up and being able to take pics was also incredibly fun! The ladies who helped with the dressing and hair were also incredible. Highly suggest!

Our food tour in Sangenjaya with Simon was a highlight of our Tokyo trip! Simon was wonderful; fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese food culture and local life. He guided us through the vibrant alleys to authentic izakayas truly off the tourist trail. From hidden sake spots - the door to one literally looked like a shelf - to a standing bar and traditional teppanyaki, every stop was a blast! Simon made the evening feel less like a tour and more like exploring the neighborhood with a knowledgeable local friend. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

really fun class intro to pottery. Jumpai (sp?) was an excellent instructor. know you won't have any finished pieces but at a cost and a few weeks time your pottery can be completed for you and shipped. currently not to USA though. learned a lot, fun evening spent. near the tokyo tower!

I had the most amazing night ever! I have not danced that much or met that many cool people in probably 20 years. We had so much fun and they told us to keep going and we certainly did. Wonderful hosts and great venues. Definitely do it especially if you’re so good traveler, but I met a lot of couples and groups and we all had a blast together.

This was one of the best food tours I have ever done. Kato was our fabulous guide. He was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Japanese food and culture. His communication before and after the tour was exceptional. We knew exactly where to meet and when, and he answered questions ahead of time. Afterward, he sent us photos and even shared extra recommendations. The food was excellent and truly all-you-can-eat, which is rare for a food tour, especially one with this level of quality. We had takoyaki, dorayaki, and obanyaki, followed by a generous yakiniku dinner and an incredible sushi feast at a local izakaya. Everything was fresh, delicious, and well-paced. The tour also included fun stops at Daiso, Don Quijote, and Miyashita Park, which gave it a nice local feel beyond just the food. We also appreciated seeing some sights and learning about the culture along the way, including spots like Hachiko Square, Shibuya Crossing, and Nonbei Yokocho. This is definitely a pricier food tour, but it is worth every penny. The amount and quality of the food, thoughtful itinerary, and outstanding service made it one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a high quality, memorable evening in Shibuya.
