Tea with Wakana Forever

Dōmo arigatō gozaimashita, Wakana! You gave us an unforgettable tea ceremony. You explained the rich history of tea culture in such a memorable way that it came to life. To enter the tea house, a samurai had to bow low, leave his swords behind, and step into a place where peace mattered more than power. Wakana made that history come alive. She explained every detail with such warmth, humor, and passion that I wasn’t just listening, I was transported. Watching her whisk the matcha into a vibrant green froth and present it with such precise, graceful movements was mesmerizing. Every gesture, from the careful turn of the bowl to the elegant placement of the ladle, felt intentional. I truly felt like royalty. I even left confident I could make a frothy matcha with a proper bubble slurp for my own guests! A standing ovation to all the ladies who helped us into our kimonos. They were incredibly patient while I braided and bunned my locs, helped me accessorize, and truly made me feel like a princess. Traveling solo, I especially appreciated that Wakana took beautiful photos of me on the patio so I’d have lasting memories of such a special day. Her lighthearted humor and warm personality made the room feel so welcoming. This experience will stay with me for a very long time, and anyone who asks me what they should do in Japan will hear one answer from me: Kimono Tea Ceremony MAIKOYA Nishiki.

A delicious family friendly ramen and gyoza cooking class

We had a wonderful time at this ramen and gyoza cooking class with my family! The chef and staff were incredibly friendly and made everyone feel welcome from the start. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for those of us with limited cooking experience, and the food we made turned out absolutely delicious! A special touch that really stood out was that they generously shared the recipe with us so we can recreate the dishes once we're back home. It was a fun, hands-on experience for the whole family, and we'd highly recommend this class to anyone visiting the area looking for something memorable to do together.

Our dishes were delicious and we were pleased that we were able to produce such beautiful masterpieces. Thank our for the experience.

This is hands down my favorite cooking class and i’ve taken 5 at this point. The teachers Eric and Jay were amazing, it was clear that they knew exactly what they were doing. Their instructions were clear and to the point with great explanations. The class itself was hard work but it was very rewarding and organized. I would absolutely take this class again and would recommend others to take it if they want a real Japanese ramen making experience, just be prepared to work.

Great fun even for older kids!

Alice picked us up and took us to the market. She taught us how to pick fish for sushi then brought us to the kitchen. We ranged in age from 13-67, chefs and non-cooks alike. We all had a great time and made some very tasty food! We were given the recipes to encourage us to try these new things at home. Great experience!!!

The location was easy to find and the hosts were very friendly with good English. The introduction was informative, cooking with PowerPoint was innovative. We started off making gyoza which were delicious. The chef took the lead in making the ramen but as there was a lot of pre-preparation that was ok as the food was great. Overall it was a great experience, finished off with same sake.

Yusei made our day!

Yusei was our tour guide and he was great! I'm so glad we had him to take us around and point out specific items to try. Otherwise we may not have ended up trying as many new things, or would have ended up in long lines unnecessarily. Don't eat breakfasts before this tour! You will eat quite a bit along the way.

I didn't eat sushi but now I do

I am someone who did not eat sushi but after this class I do. The chef is really good and his skills are admirable. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. The host is also very knowledgeable and English speaking, he translate for the chef. The staff was very helpful and I had one laughing because I put too much wasabi on one of mines and I swear my eyes popped out my head but I could breath better lol. I was a little nervous about eating raw fish but it was delicious. Definitely will do again when I go back with a group.
