Top Tokyo Dining Experiences - page 9

I had an excellent experience with Emi's cooking lesson. From the first moment, her communication was excellent, her instructions to find the studio were spot-on, and her poise, personality and knowledge were amazing. I learnt how to cook three recipes, some tricks and alternative ingredients available in my country and we chatted over a shot of sake. Time flew, because her personality is magnetic. Do not skip this activity! It will be the highlight of your time in Tokyo!

This was one of the best cookery classes we have been to but it is a difficult building to locate. Aya and Hidemi were excellent instructors. The food we cooked was amazing - I couldn't believe that we cooked so much in such a short space of time. I would highly recommend this cookery class for anyone visiting Tokyo who has an interest in Japanese cuisine.

This is the second cooking class we have taken on our current Japan trip and this one is the ONE! We learned so much and had fun at this class. The food was so good. Our friends did the first class with us and not this one and we are so sad they missed this experience. I can not recommend this class enough!

Just fantastic. If my grandmother was Japanese and had a cooking class in the middle of Tokyo, yet in a very quiet and peaceful residential area, this would be it! Class is 10 people, very clean informative and friendly. I've taken similar courses in other cities but this was my favorite!

Mr. Hoshi is an amazing pottery master, even though he is so modest. Very thorough and patient teaching brought the plate maker out of my wife and the cup maker out of me. We both layered the rice bowl as well. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty in tariffs and shipping, we were jot able to take our creations home. But we will return and do this again. The class size was small and you get a lot of help, attention, and praise from Mr.Hoshi. bravo!!!

Amazing opportunity getting to know the real food scene in Shibuya. Our tour guide Naoki was very friendly and informative regarding the locations we visited. The food and drinking spots featured during the tour were spots locals were spending time at. The food and drinks selection were yummy! This provided a genuine experience.

The experience was absolutely incredible. I went with a friend, but whether you’re alone or with family, it remains unforgettable. The sensei taught us what it means to be a true samurai — from the mindset to the movements. They dressed us in authentic samurai attire, and to top it all off, there was a professional photo shoot. It was a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

This tour was one of the highlights of our Tokyo trip. We lucked out and ended up being the only ones on the tour, which made it feel like a private experience. Our guide, Samir, was kind, informative, and incredibly attentive throughout. He led us through hidden food spots in bustling Shibuya—places we’d never have found on our own. We sampled everything from fresh sushi to Osaka-style street food like okonomiyaki and takoyaki. The highlight for me personally? The A5 Wagyu beef—unreal flavor and texture. Samir also carved out time for a quick stop at one of Shibuya’s iconic malls, which was a fun surprise. We wrapped up with traditional Japanese sweets like mochi and dango. If you’re after an off-the-beaten-path food experience with a great guide and unforgettable flavors, this one’s for you.
