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.

Great Experience!
Sumi and Aiko were both amazing! Sumi explained the steps to a traditional tea ceremony very well and it was very informative. Aiko took pictures, videos, and dressed us up in the kimono. Overall it was great experience and I would recommend it for first timers traveling here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our sushi making experience which included the history and practical preparation. It was easy to find and full instructions were provided.
The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging. We had the opportunity to meet and speak with other participants and travellers which was fantastic.
Highly recommended.

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.

A Memorable Cooking Experience in Tokyo
My two teenage daughters and I attended the wagyu sukiyaki class and had an amazing time. We learned about local ingredients and techniques, and even learned some historical and cultural facts as well. 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.

Wonderful and cute bento making class!
We had a great time learning how to make cute bento! Our instructor was patient and funny. Our bento looked cute and tasted great in the end! We made panda bento, but they gave us a choice of a cute frog or a cute dog. Make sure you check the messages from the vendor before the class so you can choose. I missed the message and we ended up with a random choice, but no regrets as the panda were really cute!
The nearby Hie Shrine was also a nice visit afterwards.

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.

Fun and tasty afternoon
My 20 year old daughter and I did this tour during our first trip to Tokyo and it was one of our favorite activities! We met outside of a Buddhist temple and started with a short tour there. We then went into the fish market and learned about its history, as well of some the guide's favorite stalls. We had the time to purchase snacks before moving onto the class.
Our class was led by Coco and an experience sushi chef. The chef demonstrated how to prepare fish for sushi, as well as sashimi. Plates with prepared fish and bowls of rice were set out for us and the chef walked through how to make different types of nigiri. Finally, we learned how to make a roll. We then got to eat our creations - delicious. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys sushi!

True Japanese Cooking Class with a Fantastic Instructor
Yuca was amazing. She was super friendly and welcoming. She was extremely informative and was more than willing to answer our questions. The class was small and intimate. She included a wonderful guide and recipes for all the dishes we cooked. We made delicious ramen and gyoza. Overall wonderful experience.

Great host and great sake
First, I must compliment the host of this tasting. Joe was cool, funny, and knowledgeable. He knew everything you could ever want to know about sake, from how it’s made to the best places to buy in Japan. He made the experience enjoyable. The sake was tasty and we tried several different varieties with different profiles. You definitely don’t get cheated with the amount sake.

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.
