We made Nagoya style wings, fried pork, and stuffed tempura rice balls. She was absolutely wonderful in teaching us how to cook! She also let us take home the recipes so we can make them at home. The local market review helped us learn more about local grocery stores. The experience we well worth the money!!

Akiko was a great host. She picked us up from the train, took us shopping, sat down and got to know us, then let us help her make the most wonderful meal, and eventually took us back to the train. Anyone who wants to experience Japanese home cooking at its best should book this tour
It was A1...the very best !!!!

Akiko and her helpers were knowledgeable fun. We enjoyed the supermarket tour and the food we made was delicious. She even provided copies of the recipes. This was a highlight of our trip to Japan.

Akiko was an absolute delight, very accommodating and sweet. As Canadians visiting, the supermarket tour was really neat and gave us some neat perspective! It was a fun experience being invited into her home to get the real authentic, home cooked local experience. She let us do a lot of the prep too which was great and most importantly of all, the food was delicious! Thanks Akiko for the great, memorable experience!
